Subject: mm/huge_memory: fix folio split check for anon folios in swapcache
Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2025 11:29:10 -0500
Both uniform and non uniform split check missed the check to prevent
splitting anon folios in swapcache to non-zero order.
Splitting anon folios in swapcache to non-zero order can cause data
corruption since swapcache only support PMD order and order-0 entries.
This can happen when one use split_huge_pages under debugfs to split
anon folios in swapcache.
In-tree callers do not perform such an illegal operation. Only debugfs
interface could trigger it. I will put adding a test case on my TODO
list.
Fix the check.
