This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
khugepaged: khugepaged_test_exit() check mmget_still_valid()to the 5.8-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...
The filename of the patch is: khugepaged-khugepaged_test_exit-check-mmget_still_valid.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.8 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.
Please hold this one back for the moment: we shall want it, but syzbot detected one place where it can lead to a VM_BUG_ON_MM(). The fix to that is currently in Andrew's tree, but not yet in Linus's - when it gets there, I'll send you its git commit id in reply to this mail.
This patch failed to apply to earlier releases: I'll send the fixup for those at that time. (Fixups for another patch to follow later today.)
Now dropped, thanks!
