[PATCH v2] mm/util: don't read __page_2 for order-1 folios in snapshot_page()

From: Aboorva Devarajan

Date: Wed Jul 08 2026 - 16:25:22 EST


snapshot_page() currently reads __page_2 after checking nr_pages > 1,
but it should only do so when nr_pages > 2.

During DLPAR memory remove on a 22 TB ppc64le LPAR, snapshot_page()
oopsed on the page isolation path while reading an order-1 folio's
__page_2 from an adjacent absent section (unmapped vmemmap).

Fix this to avoid reading memmap that doesn't exist (e.g., a vmemmap
hole).
