Kairui Song dd853cf1da mm/shmem: fix THP allocation and fallback loop 
commit fc745ff317 upstream.

The order check and fallback loop is updating the index value on every
loop.  This will cause the index to be wrongly aligned by a larger value
while the loop shrinks the order.

This may result in inserting and returning a folio of the wrong index and
cause data corruption with some userspace workloads [1].

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
