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

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/mprotect: use huge_ptep_get() for hugetlb
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-mprotect-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/mprotect: use huge_ptep_get() for hugetlb
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 11:41:59 +0000

prot_none_hugetlb_entry() is the hugetlb callback for the early
mprotect(PROT_NONE) PFN permission walk on x86.

The callback passes the decoded PFN to pfn_modify_allowed().  For a
hugetlb callback, the pte pointer refers to a hugetlb entry.  On
architectures where hugetlb entries need huge_ptep_get(), reading that
entry with ptep_get() can make the permission check use the wrong PFN.

Use huge_ptep_get() before decoding the hugetlb PFN.

Currently there is no path which can trigger a bug: huge_ptep_get() is a
simple ptep_get() for x86, and the prot_none walk occurs only for x86.

So no need to backport - use the correct helper anyways.
