This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
mm/filemap: Fix handling of THPs in generic_file_buffered_read()
to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary
The filename of the patch is:
mm-filemap-fix-handling-of-thps-in-generic_file_buffered_read.patch

When a THP is present in the page cache, we can return it several times,
leading to userspace seeing the same data repeatedly if doing a read()
that crosses a 64-page boundary. This is probably not a security issue
(since the data all comes from the same file), but it can be interpreted
as a transient data corruption issue. Fortunately, it is very rare as
it can only occur when CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS is enabled, and it can
only happen to executables. We don't often call read() on executables.
This bug is fixed differently in v5.17 by commit 6b24ca4a1a8d
("mm: Use multi-index entries in the page cache"). That commit is
unsuitable for backporting, so fix this in the clearest way. It
sacrifices a little performance for clarity, but this should never
be a performance path in these kernel versions.
