From 750e8165f5e87b6a142be953640eabb13a9d350a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 13:47:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix BUG in __split_huge_page_pmd Occasionally we hit the BUG_ON(pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) at the end of __split_huge_page_pmd(): seen when doing madvise(,,MADV_DONTNEED). It's invalid: we don't always have down_write of mmap_sem there: a racing do_huge_pmd_wp_page() might have copied-on-write to another huge page before our split_huge_page() got the anon_vma lock. Forget the BUG_ON, just go back and try again if this happens. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins Acked-by: Kirill A.
