Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/huge_memory: Mark moved huge zero page PMD as special
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 11:45:21 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aZU10aBZxCHfmjeB@chrisdown.name> (raw)

Without pmd_mkspecial(), vm_normal_page_pmd() on architectures with
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL does not recognise the moved huge zero page
as special, incorrectly treating it as a normal page and corrupting its
refcount.

Fixes: d82d09e48219 ("mm/huge_memory: mark PMD mappings of the huge zero folio special")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
