Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm: hugetlb: independent PMD page table shared count

The folio refcount may be increased unexpectly through try_get_folio() by caller such as split_huge_pages. In huge_pmd_unshare(), we use refcount to check whether a pmd page table is shared. The check is incorrect if the refcount is increased by the above caller, and this can cause the page table leaked:
