Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] mm/huge_memory: prevent NULL pointer dereference in try_folio_split_to_order()
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 22:59:51 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251120035953.1115736-2-ziy@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251120035953.1115736-1-ziy@nvidia.com>

folio_split_supported() used in try_folio_split_to_order() requires
folio->mapping to be non NULL, but current try_folio_split_to_order() does
not check it. Add the check to prevent NULL pointer dereference.

There is no issue in the current code, since try_folio_split_to_order() is
only used in truncate_inode_partial_folio(), where folio->mapping is not
NULL.
