Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] mm/hugetlb: fix use-after-free in hugetlb_mfill_atomic_pte()
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 10:57:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104155729.3920030-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026110446-swimmer-stimulate-cc19@gregkh>

From: "David Hildenbrand (Arm)" <david@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit d8a9cd7fd2fb01211430c933932da58839b8ca65 ]

Let's fix another instance where we use a folio after dropping the PTL,
where someone else could e.g., MADV_DONTNEED it once we drop the PTL,
making us trigger a use-after-free on the folio.

Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20261015-urgent_fixes-v1-3-42796911043b@kernel.org
Fixes: cb6acd01e2e4 ("hugetlbfs: fix races and page leaks during migration")
Fixes: 1c9e8def43a3 ("userfaultfd: hugetlbfs: add UFFDIO_COPY support for shared mappings")
