Subject: mm/huge_memory: add page->private check back in __split_folio_to_order()
Date: Thu, 09 Jul 2026 14:06:03 -0400

page->private should not be set in tail pages.  Commit 4265d67e405a
("mm/migrate_device: add THP splitting during migration") removed a
DEBUG_VM check without a proper reason[1].  Add it back.
