Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-10-20 17:23:19 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/hugetlb: fix folio is still mapped when deleted

Migration may be raced with fallocating hole.  remove_inode_single_folio
will unmap the folio if the folio is still mapped.  However, it's called
without folio lock.  If the folio is migrated and the mapped pte has been
converted to migration entry, folio_mapped() returns false, and won't
unmap it.  Due to extra refcount held by remove_inode_single_folio,
migration fails, restores migration entry to normal pte, and the folio is
mapped again.  As a result, we triggered BUG in filemap_unaccount_folio.

The log is as follows:

Hold folio lock before checking if the folio is mapped to avold race with
migration.
