[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/madvise: skip zone device folios in cold/pageout PMD range
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-madvise-skip-zone-device-folios-in-cold-pageout-pmd-range.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/madvise: skip zone device folios in cold/pageout PMD range
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 18:08:09 -0400

madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() resolves the folio backing a PMD via
pmd_folio() and ages or reclaims it without checking for zone device
memory.

The surrounding guards do not cover every zone device case:

  - can_madv_lru_vma() excludes VM_PFNMAP and VM_HUGETLB VMAs
    (so device DAX is filtered)

  - !pmd_present() branch above rejects device-private and
    migration entries, which are non-present.

  - A present zone device PMD - e.g. a device-coherent THP - is
    not filtered by any of these, nor by pmd_folio() (unlike
    vm_normal_page_pmd(), it performs no special/pfnmap check),
    and would be aged or paged out here.

Skip ZONE_DEVICE folios explicitly during MADV_COLD/PAGEOUT.
