Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()
Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2025 22:02:20 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250321120222.1456770-1-gshan@redhat.com> (raw)
Found by code inspection. There are two places where the parameter
passed to page_mapcount_is_type() is (page->_mapcount), which is
incorrect since it should be one more than the value, as explained in
the comments to page_mapcount_is_type(): (a) page_has_type() in
page-flags.h (b) __dump_folio() in mm/debug.c
PATCH[1] fixes the parameter for (a)
PATCH[2] fixes the parameter for (b)
Note that the issue doesn't cause any visible impacts due to the
safety gap introduced by PGTY_mapcount_underflow limit. So the
tag 'Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org' isn't needed.
Changelog
=========
v2:
* Improved commit log (Vlastimi/David)
