[merged mm-stable] mm-page_vma_mapped-use-huge_ptep_get-for-hugetlb.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/page_vma_mapped: use huge_ptep_get() for hugetlb
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-page_vma_mapped-use-huge_ptep_get-for-hugetlb.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_vma_mapped: use huge_ptep_get() for hugetlb
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 11:41:58 +0000

check_pte() is the final validation step in page_vma_mapped_walk().  It
reads pvmw->pte with ptep_get() to decide whether the entry maps the PFN
range being walked.  For hugetlb VMAs, that pointer refers to a hugetlb
entry.

On arches which provide their own huge_ptep_get() to dereference a huge
pte pointer, accessing via ptep_get() would cause pte_pfn(), pte_present()
etc to misbehave.

It is not clear whether this has a trivially visible effect to userspace.

Use huge_ptep_get() to dereference a huge pte pointer.
