  "summary": "arm64: mm: call pagetable dtor when freeing hot-removed page tables",
  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\narm64: mm: call pagetable dtor when freeing hot-removed page tables\n\nSince 5e8eb9aeeda3 (\"arm64: mm: always call PTE/PMD ctor in\n__create_pgd_mapping()\") page-table allocation on ARM64 always calls\npagetable_{pte,pmd,pud,p4d}_ctor().  This sets the page_type to\nPGTY_table, increments NR_PAGETABLE and possible allocates a PTL.  However\nthe matching pagetable_dtor() calls were never added.\n\nWith DEBUG_VM enabled on kernel versions prior to v6.17 without\n2dfcd1608f3a9 (\"mm/page_alloc: let page freeing clear any set page type\")\nthis leads to the following warning when freeing these pages due to\npage->page_type sharing page->_mapcount:\n\n  BUG: Bad page state in process ... pfn:284fbb\n  page: refcount:0 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x284fbb\n  flags: 0x17fffc000000000(node=0|zone=2|lastcpupid=0x1ffff)\n  page_type: f2(table)\n  page dumped because: nonzero mapcount\n  Call trace:\n   bad_page+0x13c/0x160\n   __free_frozen_pages+0x6cc/0x860\n   ___free_pages+0xf4/0x180\n   free_pages+0x54/0x80\n   free_hotplug_page_range.part.0+0x58/0x90\n   free_empty_tables+0x438/0x500\n   __remove_pgd_mapping.constprop.0+0x60/0xa8\n   arch_remove_memory+0x48/0x80\n   try_remove_memory+0x158/0x1d8\n   offline_and_remove_memory+0x138/0x180\n\nIt can also lead to leaking the ptl allocation if ALLOC_SPLIT_PTLOCKS is\ndefined and incorrect NR_PAGETABLE stats.  Fix this by calling\npagetable_dtor() in free_hotplug_pgtable_page() prior to freeing the page\nto undo the effects of calling pagetable_*_ctor().",
