The khugepaged tracepoints take a folio pointer and call folio_pfn(), but by then the folio may no longer be valid: freed after folio_put(), folio_unlock() or pte_unmap_unlock(), or not a folio at all but an xarray-encoded swap entry. On classic SPARSEMEM, dereferencing it oopses khugepaged as soon as the trace event is enabled; on other memory models it merely prints a bogus pfn. Pass the pfn to the tracepoints directly, captured while the folio is still pinned, closing the use-after-free windows in mm_khugepaged_scan_file(), mm_khugepaged_scan_pmd() and mm_khugepaged_collapse_file(). This patch (of 3): When the swap entries found exceed max_ptes_swap, the loop is left via break with folio still holding the xarray value that encodes the swap entry, not valid folio pointer. That value is passed to trace_mm_khugepaged_scan_file(), which feeds it to folio_pfn(). On FLATMEM and SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, the page_to_pfn() is plain pointer arithmetic, so the trace event merely prints bogus scan_pfn. On classic SPARSEMEM, the page_to_pfn() reads page->flags, dereferencing the tiny encoded integer and oopsing khugepaged whenever the trace event is enabled. So when folio is the swap entry value, simply set pfn to -1, just like exhausted scan naturally. And the folio_put() has maybe dropped the last reference of folio. The trace_mm_khugepaged_scan_file() is left with a dangling folio pointer. so using the folio_pfn() before dropping the reference, closing use-after-free window.
