However, following commit 060913999d7a ("mm: migrate: support poisoned recover from migrate folio"), folio_mc_copy() is called before __folio_migrate_mapping(). If the latter fails (-EAGAIN), the copy will be done again to the same destination page. Since copy_highpage() already set the PG_mte_tagged flag, this second copy will warn. Replace the WARN_ON_ONCE(page already tagged) in the arm64 copy_highpage() with a comment.

Wong" <djwong(a)kernel.org> Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2025 11:30:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: always warn about deprecated mount options The deprecation of the 'attr2' mount option in 6.18 wasn't entirely successful because nobody noticed that the kernel never printed a warning about attr2 being set in fstab if the only xfs filesystem is the root fs; the initramfs mounts the root fs with no mount options; and the init scripts only conveyed the fstab options by remounting the root fs. Fix this by making it complain all the time. Cc: stable(a)vger.kernel.org # v5.13 Fixes: 92cf7d36384b99 ("xfs: Skip repetitive warnings about mount options") Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

The current logic uses !PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(cpu_clk) which evaluates to true for both valid pointers and NULL, leading to potential NULL pointer dereference in clk_get_rate(). Per include/linux/err.h documentation, PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(ptr) returns: "The error code within @ptr if it is an error pointer; 0 otherwise." This means PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() returns 0 for both valid pointers AND NULL pointers. Therefore !PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(cpu_clk) evaluates to true (proceed) when cpu_clk is either valid or NULL, causing clk_get_rate(NULL) to be called when of_clk_get() returns NULL.
