mm-hugetlb-do-not-dissolve-gigantic-pages-without-runtime-support.patch

of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/hugetlb: do not dissolve gigantic pages without runtime support
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 12:40:51 +0800
dissolve_free_hugetlb_folio() doesn't check
hstate_is_gigantic_no_runtime(h) though remove_hugetlb_folio()/
update_and_free_hugetlb_folio() silently bail for such folios, so it frees
a still-listed folio and, on vmemmap restore failure, the
add_hugetlb_folio() rollback corrupts the free list.
