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

arm64/mm: fix incorrect file_map_count for invalid pmd

The page table check trigger BUG_ON() unexpectedly when split hugepage:

On arm64, pmd_leaf() will return true even if the pmd is invalid due to pmd_present_invalid() check. So in pmdp_invalidate() the file_map_count will not only decrease once but also increase once. Then in set_pte_at(), the file_map_count increase again, and so trigger BUG_ON() unexpectedly.

Add !pmd_present_invalid() check in pmd_user_accessible_page() to fix the problem.
