Is it possible that folio could be NULL here and cause addressing exception?

and, here as well?

Hi Mike,

It is possible that the folio could be null but I believe these instances would not cause an addressing exception because as described in [1], &folio->page is safe even if the folio is NULL as the page offset is at 0.
