The kernel verison is 3.10 .
recently, I hit a problem in the unmap_and_move_huge_page, and it have been proved that it can be
solved in commit 7964b385c0906f ("mm: unmapped page migration avoid unmap+remap overhead").
but , the question is that the debug show mapcount is -1 and mapping is NULL. before unmap the page,
the page should be locked, I don not think the mapping can suddenly turn into NULL, and the changelog
just describe the overhead. The call trace is following.
