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.
