    thp: fix memory-failure hugetlbfs vs THP collision · 91600e9e
    Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
    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.
