Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y] mm: call ->free_folio() directly in folio_unmap_invalidate()
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 15:53:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420145343.2046992-1-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026042002-idealness-evade-7213@gregkh>

We can only call filemap_free_folio() if we have a reference to (or hold a
lock on) the mapping.  Otherwise, we've already removed the folio from the
mapping so it no longer pins the mapping and the mapping can be removed,
causing a use-after-free when accessing mapping->a_ops.

Follow the same pattern as __remove_mapping() and load the free_folio
function pointer before dropping the lock on the mapping.  That lets us
make filemap_free_folio() static as this was the only caller outside
filemap.c.
