CVE-2026-89755

HighCVSS 7.8/10Last modified Oct 21, 2026

Description

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

mm/migrate_device: clear stale mapping after freeing swapcache

__migrate_device_pages() reads the folio mapping before calling folio_free_swap(). When folio_free_swap() succeeds, the folio is removed from the swap cache, but the saved mapping still points to swap_space.

Passing the stale mapping to folio_migrate_mapping() makes it use the mapped-folio path for a folio that is no longer in swapcache. It can then operate on swap_space.i_pages with invalid reference accounting, eventually triggering a folio reference count BUG.

After a successful split, nr still contains the number of pages in the original large folio, although each resulting page is now a separate order-0 folio. Reset nr to 1 so each split folio is processed separately, including its own swapcache removal and mapping lookup.

Refresh the saved mapping after folio_free_swap() so the current folio state is used during migration.
