[PATCH v3 1/5] mm/cma: use nth_page() in place of direct struct page manipulation.
Posted by Zi Yan 2 years, 3 months ago
From: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com>

When dealing with hugetlb pages, manipulating struct page pointers
directly can get to wrong struct page, since struct page is not guaranteed
to be contiguous on SPARSEMEM without VMEMMAP. Use nth_page() to handle
it properly.

Without the fix, page_kasan_tag_reset() could reset wrong page tags, causing
a wrong kasan result. No related bug is reported. The fix comes from code
inspection.

OK, thanks.  Given that none of these appear urgent, I'll move the
series from the 6.6-rcX queue (mm-hotfixes-unstable) and into the
6.7-rc1 queue (mm-unstable), while retaining the cc:stable.  To give
them more testing time before landing in mainline and -stable kernels.
