The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: fix finish_fault() handling for large folios has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-fix-finish_fault-handling-for-large-folios.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Brian Geffon bgeffon@google.com Subject: mm: fix finish_fault() handling for large folios Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2025 11:23:41 -0500
When handling faults for anon shmem finish_fault() will attempt to install ptes for the entire folio. Unfortunately if it encounters a single non-pte_none entry in that range it will bail, even if the pte that triggered the fault is still pte_none. When this situation happens the fault will be retried endlessly never making forward progress.
This patch fixes this behavior and if it detects that a pte in the range is not pte_none it will fall back to setting a single pte.
