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/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix incorrect vmemmap restore in rollback
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 10:52:13 +0800

vmemmap_restore_pte() rebuilds restored vmemmap pages from a tail-page
template derived from compound_head().  This is wrong when the current PTE
already maps a page whose contents are not tail-page metadata.

In the rollback path of vmemmap_remap_free(), the first restored PTE is
backed by vmemmap_head and contains head-page metadata.  Reconstructing
that page from a tail-page template overwrites the head-page state and
corrupts the restored vmemmap page.

Fix this by copying the full page from the page currently mapped by the
PTE.  Also pass vmemmap_tail to the rollback walk so only PTEs backed by
the shared tail page are restored, while the head PTE remains mapped to
vmemmap_head.  Add VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() checks for unexpected cases.
