If the folio is a thp, I think it means it's pte mapped here. Then after the split we may want to fetch the small folio after the split, not the head one?
I think we need to re-fetch the src_folio only if the src_addr falls into a non-head page. Looking at the __split_huge_page(), the head page is skipped in the last loop, so I think it should stay valid. That said, maybe it's just an implementation detail of the __split_huge_page() and I should not rely on that and refetch anyway?
I'll post a v2 with this fix and re-fetching the folio unconditionally. We also don't need to reset src_folio_pte value because it's used only if src_folio is not NULL. Thanks for catching this, Peter!
