Subject: [merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-fix-address-wraparound-when-scanning-large-folio-ptes.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Mon, 02 Nov 2026 18:15:18 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103021519.40CC21F000C1@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: fix address wraparound when scanning large folio PTEs
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-fix-address-wraparound-when-scanning-large-folio-ptes.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: fix address wraparound when scanning large folio PTEs
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 20:34:28 +0200

numa_rebuild_large_mapping() and do_swap_page() can be tricked into
generating an address wraparound, crashing the kernel. All that's required
is to map a tail page of a large folio close enough to the start/end of
the address space to e.g., make

	unsigned long addr_start = addr - (nr << PAGE_SHIFT);

to wrap around.

Let's fix it by providing a better helper, folio_scan_range(), that
takes care of staying within VMA and page table boundaries while
handling possible wraparounds.

There are some nasty details, like not being able to use pmd_addr_end()
in this context. Add some helpful comments for these cases.

Fixes: 508758960b8d ("mm: swap: entirely map large folios found in swapcache")
