Message-ID: <20260731024153.61D531F000E9@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/huge_memory: move softleaf_to_folio() inside migration branch
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-huge_memory-move-softleaf_to_folio-inside-migration-branch.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/huge_memory: move softleaf_to_folio() inside migration branch
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 04:42:06 -0700
change_non_present_huge_pmd() calls softleaf_to_folio() unconditionally at
the top of the function. softleaf_to_folio() extracts a PFN from the
entry and converts it to a folio pointer, which is only meaningful for
migration and device_private entries that encode a real PFN.
A swap entry encodes a swap offset instead, so softleaf_to_folio() would
produce a bogus pointer and crash on mprotect() when a PMD swap entry is
present.
Move the call into the migration_write branch where the folio is actually
used, so the function is safe for any non-present PMD type.
