From 587fe586f44a48f9691001ba6c45b86c8e4ba21f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2013 11:28:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mm: Prevent parallel splits during THP migration THP migrations are serialised by the page lock but on its own that does not prevent THP splits. If the page is split during THP migration then the pmd_same checks will prevent page table corruption but the unlock page and other fix-ups potentially will cause corruption. This patch takes the anon_vma lock to prevent parallel splits during migration.
