The subsequent\n!pmd_present() branch has a VM_BUG_ON() asserting migration is the only\nallowed non-present case; a device-private PMD trips it.\n\nSkip device-private PMDs in that non-present branch and continue to\nhuge_unlock before calling pmd_folio().  Downgrade the check to\nVM_WARN_ON_ONCE() so an unexpected PMD softleaf logs a warning rather than\npanicking.  Drop the thp_migration_supported() guard: it expands to\nIS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_PMD_SOFTLEAF), and both\npmd_is_migration_entry() and pmd_is_device_private_entry() already return\nfalse when that config is not selected, so the guard suppresses only the\ncase where the warning would already be silent.\n\nPotential trigger: an HMM-based GPU driver races with\nmadvise(MADV_COLD)/MADV_PAGEOUT: pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) reads true, then\nmigrate_vma_pages() flips the PMD to a device-private entry before the PMD\nlock is acquired."
