Subject: mm/khugepaged: fix invalid page access in release_pte_pages()
Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2023 13:43:24 -0800
release_pte_pages() converts from a pfn to a folio by using pfn_folio().
If the pte is not mapped, pfn_folio() will result in undefined behavior
which ends up causing a kernel panic[1].
Only call pfn_folio() once we have validated that the pte is both valid
and mapped to fix the issue.
