CVE-2026-64416

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

mm: swap_cgroup: fix NULL deref in lookup_swap_cgroup_id on swapless host

lookup_swap_cgroup_id() passes swap_cgroup_ctrl[type].map to
__swap_cgroup_id_lookup() without checking that the type was ever
registered via swap_cgroup_swapon(). On a swapless host every ctrl->map
is NULL, so __swap_cgroup_id_lookup() dereferences NULL + a scaled
swp_offset().

Since commit bea67dcc5eea ("mm: attempt to batch free swap entries for
zap_pte_range()"), zap_pte_range() -> swap_pte_batch() calls
lookup_swap_cgroup_id() on any non-present, non-none PTE that decodes as a
real swap entry, without first validating it against swap_info[]. A
single PTE corrupted into a type-0 swap entry takes the host down at
process exit.

We hit this in production on a swapless 6.12.58 host: ~1s of
"get_swap_device: Bad swap file entry 3f800204222bb" (do_swap_page() being
correctly defensive about the same entry) followed by

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 000003f800204220
RIP: 0010:lookup_swap_cgroup_id+0x2b/0x60
Call Trace:

syzbot has reported the identical stack.

The source of the PTE corruption is a separate bug; this change makes the
teardown path as robust as the fault path already is. Every other caller
of lookup_swap_cgroup_id() is downstream of a get_swap_device() that has
already validated the entry, so the new branch is cold.
