Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] mm: khugepaged: fix folio is used after folio_put/unlock()
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 18:14:40 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104231424.891478-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026110413-cacti-bonded-6534@gregkh>
From: Vernon Yang <yanglincheng@kylinos.cn>
[ Upstream commit 9010383e71e6ce75fcd3c8f87133c8ce6c0e6ab4 ]
On the rollback path, folio_put() has already dropped the last reference
of new_folio. On the success path, new_folio is already unlocked and can
be freed concurrently. The trace_mm_khugepaged_collapse_file() is left
with a dangling folio pointer.
So using the folio_pfn() before dropping the reference, closing
use-after-free window.
