[PATCH 1/5] mm/rmap: use huge_ptep_get() in try_to_unmap_one()
From: Dev Jain
Date: Thu Jun 25 2026 - 07:36:03 EST
try_to_unmap_one() handles hugetlb folios when memory failure needs
to replace a poisoned hugetlb mapping with a hwpoison entry. In that
case page_vma_mapped_walk() returns the pte pointer to the hugetlb folio
in pvmw.pte, but the code reads it 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.
Just use huge_ptep_get() for dereferencing a huge pte pointer.
Fixes: c7ab0d2fdc84 ("mm: convert try_to_unmap_one() to use page_vma_mapped_walk()")
