6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx> commit faeec8e23c10bd30e8aa759a2eb3018dae00f924 upstream. In split_large_buddy(), we might call pfn_to_page() on a PFN that might not exist. In corner cases, such as when freeing the highest pageblock in the last memory section, this could result with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM && !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME in __pfn_to_section() returning NULL and and __section_mem_map_addr() dereferencing that NULL pointer. Let's fix it, and avoid doing a pfn_to_page() call for the first iteration, where we already have the page. So far this was found by code inspection, but let's just CC stable as the fix is easy.
