A race condition is possible in stable_page_flags() where user-space is reading /proc/kpageflags concurrently to a folio split. This may lead to oopses or BUG_ON()s being triggered. To fix this, this commit uses snapshot_page() in stable_page_flags() so that stable_page_flags() works with a stable page and folio snapshots instead. Note that stable_page_flags() makes use of some functions that require the original page or folio pointer to work properly (eg. is_free_budy_page() and folio_test_idle()). Since those functions can't be used on the page snapshot, we replace their usage with flags that were set by snapshot_page() for this purpose.

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.
