CVE-2026-53108
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/64s: Fix unmap race with PMD migration entries
The following race is possible with migration swap entries or device-private THP entries. e.g. when move_pages is called on a PMD THP page, then there maybe an intermediate state, where PMD entry acts as a migration swap entry (pmd_present() is true). Then if an munmap happens at the same time, then this VM_BUG_ON() can happen in pmdp_huge_get_and_clear_full().
This patch fixes that.
commit a30b48bf1b24 ("mm/migrate_device: implement THP migration of zone device pages"), enabled migration for device-private PMD entries. Hence this is one other path where this warning could get trigger from.
