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

mm/gup: handle NULL pages in unpin_user_pages()

The recent addition of "pofs" (pages or folios) handling to gup has a flaw: it assumes that unpin_user_pages() handles NULL pages in the pages** array. That's not the case, as I discovered when I ran on a new configuration on my test machine.

Fix this by skipping NULL pages in unpin_user_pages(), just like unpin_folios() already does.

Details: when booting on x86 with "numa=fake=2 movablecore=4G" on Linux 6.12, and running this:

tools/testing/selftests/mm/gup_longterm

...I get the following crash:
