Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] mm: khugepaged: fix folio is used after folio_put/unlock()
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 13:59:26 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828055926.346744-4-vernon2gm@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260828055926.346744-1-vernon2gm@gmail.com>
From: Vernon Yang <yanglincheng@kylinos.cn>
On the rollback path, folio_put() has already dropped the last reference
of new_folio. On the success path, new_folio is already unlocked and can
be freed concurrently. The trace_mm_khugepaged_collapse_file() is left
with a dangling folio pointer.
So using the folio_pfn() before dropping the reference, closing
use-after-free window.
Acked-by: Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM) <ljs@kernel.org>
