The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: use aligned address in clear_gigantic_page() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-use-aligned-address-in-clear_gigantic_page.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: Kefeng Wang wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com Subject: mm: use aligned address in clear_gigantic_page() Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2024 22:56:55 +0800
In current kernel, hugetlb_no_page() calls folio_zero_user() with the fault address. Where the fault address may be not aligned with the huge page size. Then, folio_zero_user() may call clear_gigantic_page() with the address, while clear_gigantic_page() requires the address to be huge page size aligned. So, this may cause memory corruption or information leak, addtional, use more obvious naming 'addr_hint' instead of 'addr' for clear_gigantic_page().
