Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 2/2] mm/rmap: use huge_ptep_get() in try_to_migrate_one()
Date: Fri,  4 Sep 2026 06:29:55 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904102955.2499533-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904102955.2499533-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Dev Jain <dev.jain@arm.com>

[ Upstream commit 9be12ffa78cd087d41086f937a156435d4e588e9 ]

try_to_migrate_one() is used by folio migration to replace a present
mapping with a migration entry. For hugetlb folios, page_vma_mapped_walk()
returns the pte pointer to the hugetlb folio in pvmw.pte, but the code
reads the huge pte entry with ptep_get().

On arches which provide their own huge_ptep_get() to dereference a huge
pte pointer, accessing via ptep_get() would cause pte_pfn(), pte_present()
etc to misbehave.

It is not clear whether this has a trivially visible effect to userspace.

Use huge_ptep_get() to dereference a huge pte pointer.

Commit a98a2f0c8ce1 copied the bug from try_to_unmap_one into
try_to_migrate_one.
