From aa88b68c3b1dce8bc3fd54c8a7372a777ff265cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:18:27 -0700 Subject: thp: keep huge zero page pinned until tlb flush Andrea has found[1] a race condition on MMU-gather based TLB flush vs split_huge_page() or shrinker which frees huge zero under us (patch 1/2 and 2/2 respectively). With new THP refcounting, we don't need patch 1/2: mmu_gather keeps the page pinned until flush is complete and the pin prevents the page from being split under us. We still need patch 2/2. This is simplified version of Andrea's patch. We don't need fancy encoding. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1447938052-22165-1-git-send-email-aarcange@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
