Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 3/3] xfarray: don't crash when sorting if array element crosses a folio
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 11:46:33 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110164625.2532323-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110164625.2532323-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: "Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 329750292e9dfbb594b375d7b30cf5ddb58b7bb9 ]
LOLLM points out that if an array element crosses a folio boundary,
xfile_get_folio returns a NULL folio pointer. If this happens,
si->folio is also set to NULL, and calling folio_pos/folio_address will
just crash the kernel. Teach this function to handle this condition by
falling back to reading the array element into scratchpad memory.
