The patch titled Subject: mm/huge_memory: check pmd_present first in is_huge_zero_pmd has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-huge_memory-check-pmd_present-first-in-is_huge_zero_pmd.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-huge_memory-check-pmd_present-first-in-is_huge_zero_pmd.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/huge_memory: check pmd_present first in is_huge_zero_pmd Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2022 21:21:55 +0800 When pmd is non-present, pmd_pfn returns an insane value. So we should check pmd_present first to avoid acquiring such insane value and also avoid touching possible cold huge_zero_pfn cache line when pmd isn't present.
