The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/gup: fix memfd_pin_folios hugetlb page allocation has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-gup-fix-memfd_pin_folios-hugetlb-page-allocation.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: Steve Sistare steven.sistare@oracle.com Subject: mm/gup: fix memfd_pin_folios hugetlb page allocation Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2024 07:25:20 -0700
When memfd_pin_folios -> memfd_alloc_folio creates a hugetlb page, the index is wrong. The subsequent call to filemap_get_folios_contig thus cannot find it, and fails, and memfd_pin_folios loops forever. To fix, adjust the index for the huge_page_order.
memfd_alloc_folio also forgets to unlock the folio, so the next touch of the page calls hugetlb_fault which blocks forever trying to take the lock. Unlock it.
