CVE-2023-53361: LoongArch: mm: Add p?d_leaf() definitions

Published Sep 17, 2025

Updated

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

LoongArch: mm: Add p?dleaf() definitions

When I do LTP test, LTP test case ksm06 caused panic at breakksmpmdentry -> pmdleaf (Huge page table but False) -> ptepresent (panic)

The reason is pmdleaf() is not defined, So like commit 501b81046701 ("mips: mm: add p?dleaf() definitions") add p?dleaf() definition for LoongArch.
