[PATCH] mm/huge_memory: update file PUD counter before folio_put()
From: Yin Tirui
Date: Tue May 26 2026 - 06:23:58 EST
__split_huge_pud_locked() updates the file/shmem RSS counter after
dropping the PUD mapping's folio reference. If folio_put() drops the
last reference, mm_counter_file() can later read freed folio state via
folio_test_swapbacked().
Move the counter update before folio_put().
