[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: khugepaged: fix folio is used after pte_unmap_unlock()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-khugepaged-fix-folio-is-used-after-pte_unmap_unlock.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: khugepaged: fix folio is used after pte_unmap_unlock()
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 10:58:02 +0800

After the page table lock has dropped, the folio can be freed
concurrently.  The trace_mm_khugepaged_scan_pmd() is left with a dangling
folio pointer.

So using the folio_pfn() before dropping the page table lock, closing
use-after-free window.

And other pre-existing bug, When the `for (i = 0; i < HPAGE_PMD_NR; i++)`
iteration to terminate and the folio operation preceding is normal, but
pfn will be incorrect.  so we really only trace the PFN if it really was
problematic.
