Subject: [merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-call-free_folio-directly-in-folio_unmap_invalidate.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2026 23:25:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260419062537.F0721C2BCAF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: call ->free_folio() directly in folio_unmap_invalidate()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-call-free_folio-directly-in-folio_unmap_invalidate.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: call ->free_folio() directly in folio_unmap_invalidate()
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 19:43:11 +0100
We can only call filemap_free_folio() if we have a reference to (or hold a
lock on) the mapping. Otherwise, we've already removed the folio from the
mapping so it no longer pins the mapping and the mapping can be removed,
causing a use-after-free when accessing mapping->a_ops.
Follow the same pattern as __remove_mapping() and load the free_folio
function pointer before dropping the lock on the mapping. That lets us
make filemap_free_folio() static as this was the only caller outside
filemap.c.
