The hugetlb bugs only bite when the page is not yet\nfaulted in when memfd_pin_folios is called.  The THP bug bites when the\nstarting offset passed to memfd_pin_folios is not huge page aligned.  See\nthe commit messages for details.\n\n\nThis patch (of 5):\n\nmemfd_pin_folios on memory backed by THP panics if the requested start\noffset is not huge page aligned:\n\nBUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000036\nRIP: 0010:filemap_get_folios_contig+0xdf/0x290\nRSP: 0018:ffffc9002092fbe8 EFLAGS: 00010202\nRAX: 0000000000000002 RBX: 0000000000000002 RCX: 0000000000000002\n\nThe fault occurs here, because xas_load returns a folio with value 2:\n\n    filemap_get_folios_contig()\n        for (folio = xas_load(&xas); folio && xas.xa_index <= end;\n                        folio = xas_next(&xas)) {\n                ...\n                if (!folio_try_get(folio))   <-- BOOM\n\n\"2\" is an xarray sibling entry.  We get it because memfd_pin_folios does\nnot round the indices passed to filemap_get_folios_contig to huge page\nboundaries for THP, so we load from the middle of a huge page range see a\nsibling.  (It does round for hugetlbfs, at the is_file_hugepages test).\n\nTo fix, if the folio is a sibling, then return the next index as the\nstarting point for the next call to filemap_get_folios_contig."
