The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/page_owner: use memcg_data snapshot to avoid TOCTOU in print_page_owner_memcg()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-page_owner-use-memcg_data-snapshot-to-avoid-toctou-in-print_page_owner_memcg.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/page_owner: use memcg_data snapshot to avoid TOCTOU in print_page_owner_memcg()
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 09:51:08 +0800

print_page_owner_memcg() reads page->memcg_data via READ_ONCE() at the
start to guard against tail pages and NULL data.  However, it later
re-reads page->memcg_data locklessly in two places:

1: page_memcg_check(page)

2: PageMemcgKmem(page) (via folio_memcg_kmem(), which includes
   VM_BUG_ON assertions for tail pages and MEMCG_DATA_OBJEXTS)

If the page is concurrently freed and reallocated as a THP tail page or
slab page between these calls, the VM_BUG_ON assertions can trigger on
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y builds, crashing the kernel.

Fix both TOCTOU issues by using the memcg_data snapshot throughout.
