Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: turn folio_test_hugetlb into a PageType
The current folio_test_hugetlb() can be fooled by a concurrent folio split
into returning true for a folio which has never belonged to hugetlbfs.
This can't happen if the caller holds a refcount on it, but we have a few
places (memory-failure, compaction, procfs) which do not and should not
take a speculative reference.
Since hugetlb pages do not use individual page mapcounts (they are always
fully mapped and use the entire_mapcount field to record the number of
mappings), the PageType field is available now that page_mapcount()
ignores the value in this field.
In compaction and with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, the current implementation
can result in an oops, as reported by Luis. This happens since 9c5ccf2db04b
("mm: remove HUGETLB_PAGE_DTOR") effectively added some VM_BUG_ON() checks
in the PageHuge() testing path.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: mm: convierte folio_test_hugetlb en un PageType. El folio_test_hugetlb() actual puede ser engañado por una división de folio concurrente y devuelve verdadero para un folio que nunca ha pertenecido a hugetlbfs. Esto no puede suceder si la persona que llama tiene un recuento sobre él, pero tenemos algunos lugares (fallo de memoria, compactación, procfs) que no toman ni deben tomar una referencia especulativa. Dado que las páginas de Hugetlb no usan recuentos de mapas de páginas individuales (siempre están completamente asignadas y usan el campo Whole_mapcount para registrar el número de asignaciones), el campo PageType está disponible ahora que page_mapcount() ignora el valor en este campo. En compactación y con CONFIG_DEBUG_VM habilitado, la implementación actual puede resultar en un error, según lo informado por Luis. Esto sucede desde que 9c5ccf2db04b ("mm: eliminar HUGETLB_PAGE_DTOR") agregó efectivamente algunas comprobaciones de VM_BUG_ON() en la ruta de prueba de PageHuge().
