Subject: [PATCH 5.19 045/101] mm/hugetlb: correct demote page offset logic

From: Doug Berger <opendmb@...il.com>

commit 317314527d173e1f139ceaf8cb87cb1746abf240 upstream.

With gigantic pages it may not be true that struct page structures are
contiguous across the entire gigantic page.  The nth_page macro is used
here in place of direct pointer arithmetic to correct for this.

Mike said:

: This error could cause addressing exceptions.  However, this is only
: possible in configurations where CONFIG_SPARSEMEM &&
: !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.  Such a configuration option is rare and
: unknown to be the default anywhere.
