From 44fc80573cc760a7154f41fd0a958ee10eba1a81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 16:25:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm, hugetlb: close race when setting PageTail for gigantic pages Now that gigantic pages are dynamically allocatable, care must be taken to ensure that p->first_page is valid before setting PageTail. If this isn't done, then it is possible to race and have compound_head() return NULL.
