From 91600e9e592e48736e630851c83da2ad6bf0e91f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Arcangeli Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 15:47:16 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] thp: fix memory-failure hugetlbfs vs THP collision hugetlbfs was changed to allow memory failure to migrate the hugetlbfs pages and that broke THP as split_huge_page was then called on hugetlbfs pages too. compound_head/order was also run unsafe on THP pages that can be splitted at any time. All compound_head() invocations in memory-failure.c that are run on pages that aren't pinned and that can be freed and reused from under us (while compound_head is running) are buggy because compound_head can return a dangling pointer, but I'm not fixing this as this is a generic memory-failure bug not specific to THP but it applies to hugetlbfs too, so I can fix it later after THP is merged upstream.
