The split relies on @folio\n-- which the beyond-EOF drop loop never removes, as it starts at\nfolio_next(folio) -- staying locked and in the page cache to hold off\neviction. But the unlock loop unlocks @folio before i_mmap_unlock_read()\nruns. If the caller's @lock_at is a tail beyond EOF, as memory_failure()\npasses when splitting a poisoned tail of a shmem THP that reaches past\ni_size during truncation, it too is gone from the page cache; so once\n@folio is unlocked no locked, in-cache folio pins the inode, and a\nconcurrent final iput() can evict and RCU-free it before\ni_mmap_unlock_read() touches i_mmap_rwsem:\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __up_read+0x634/0x790\n i_mmap_unlock_read include/linux/fs.h:537 [inline]\n __folio_split+0x732/0x1640 mm/huge_memory.c:4100\n try_to_split_thp_page+0xab/0x390

every mapping dereference while @folio still pins the inode: drop\ni_mmap_rwsem right after remap_page(), before the loop that unlocks and\nfrees the after-split folios, and clear @mapping so the exit path does not\nunlock it again. shmem_uncharge() and remap_page() already run before\nthat point, so after this nothing past the unlock loop touches the inode\nor the mapping.\n\nThis is now a rule the split depends on, alongside keeping @folio frozen\nuntil the page cache is updated: no inode or mapping dereference once the\nafter-split folios start being unlocked.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-15T12:27:15.083+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-16T19:05:49.129+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
