Subject: [merged mm-stable] mm-migrate_device-move-softleaf_to_folio-inside-device-private-branch.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 19:41:55 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731024156.62FCB1F000E9@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/migrate_device: move softleaf_to_folio() inside device-private branch
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-migrate_device-move-softleaf_to_folio-inside-device-private-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/migrate_device: move softleaf_to_folio() inside device-private branch
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 04:42:07 -0700
migrate_vma_collect_pmd() calls softleaf_to_folio() on a non-present PMD
before checking the entry's type. softleaf_to_folio() converts the
entry's offset to a PFN, which is only meaningful for migration or
device-private entries.
A PMD swap entry's offset is a swap offset, not a PFN, so the lookup would
either return a bogus folio pointer or trip pfn_to_page validation on a
debug kernel. In the non-device-private path the returned folio is then
unused (the OR short-circuits to migrate_vma_collect_skip()), but the
lookup itself is already unsafe.
Move the softleaf_to_folio() call inside the device-private branch where
the folio is actually needed, mirroring the equivalent
change_non_present_huge_pmd() fix.
