The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/huge_memory: skip device-private PMDs in madvise_free_huge_pmd
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-huge_memory-skip-device-private-pmds-in-madvise_free_huge_pmd.patch

Subject: mm/huge_memory: skip device-private PMDs in madvise_free_huge_pmd
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 03:55:23 -0700

madvise_free_pte_range() checks pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) unlocked, then
madvise_free_huge_pmd() takes pmd_trans_huge_lock().  pmd_is_huge()
returns true for a device-private PMD, so orig_pmd can be device-private
and enter the !pmd_present() branch.

Skip device-private PMDs in that non-present branch and continue to out
before calling pmd_folio().  Downgrade the check to VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() so
an unexpected PMD softleaf logs a warning rather than panicking.  Drop the
thp_migration_supported() guard: it expands to
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_PMD_SOFTLEAF), and both
pmd_is_migration_entry() and pmd_is_device_private_entry() already return
false when that config is not selected, so the guard suppresses only the
case where the warning would already be silent.

Potential trigger: an HMM-based GPU driver races with madvise(MADV_FREE):
migrate_vma_pages() flips the PMD to a device-private entry between the
caller's pmd_trans_huge() check and the callee's pmd_trans_huge_lock().
