6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 4de22b2a6a7477d84d9a01eb6b62a9117309d722 upstream. It is unsafe to call PageTail() in dump_page() as page_is_fake_head() will almost certainly return true when called on a head page that is copied to the stack. That will cause the VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS() in const_folio_flags() to trigger when it shouldn't. Fortunately, we don't need to call PageTail() here; it's fine to have a pointer to a virtual alias of the page's flag word rather than the real page's flag word.
