The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/damon: validate if the pmd entry is present before accessing has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-damon-validate-if-the-pmd-entry-is-present-before-accessing.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ From: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/damon: validate if the pmd entry is present before accessing Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2022 14:21:12 +0800 The pmd_huge() is used to validate if the pmd entry is mapped by a huge page, also including the case of non-present (migration or hwpoisoned) pmd entry on arm64 or x86 architectures. Thus we should validate if it is present before making the pmd entry old or getting young state, otherwise we can not get the correct corresponding page.
