Subject: [merged mm-stable] mm-disallow-raw-pfn-mappings-of-huge-shared-zeropage.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 21:34:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013043401.EE9D01F00899@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: disallow raw PFN mappings of huge/shared zeropage
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-disallow-raw-pfn-mappings-of-huge-shared-zeropage.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: disallow raw PFN mappings of huge/shared zeropage
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 13:42:25 +0800
Handling the huge/shared zeropage correctly in vmf_insert_pfn_pmd() and
vmf_insert_pfn_prot() is more involved. We would need to check whether
the VMA allows it and keep the mapping read-only, similar to the checks in
vm_mixed_ok().
No in-tree user needs that support, so reject these mappings with
VM_FAULT_SIGBUS rather than complicate the code for now.
