Linux kernel stable tree
a1268be280
The recent addition of "pofs" (pages or folios) handling to gup has a
flaw: it assumes that unpin_user_pages() handles NULL pages in the pages**
array. That's not the case, as I discovered when I ran on a new
configuration on my test machine.
Fix this by skipping NULL pages in unpin_user_pages(), just like
unpin_folios() already does.
Details: when booting on x86 with "numa=fake=2 movablecore=4G" on Linux
6.12, and running this:
tools/testing/selftests/mm/gup_longterm
...I get the following crash:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008
RIP: 0010:sanity_check_pinned_pages+0x3a/0x2d0

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
