Hi, 

Recently,  I hit  the following issue in linux 3.10 stable.  and hard to recur.

bad pmd ffff880c13ecea80(80000017b16000e7)

BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff8820136b5dc0 idx:1 val:512

The pmd entry show that it is still a thp. but It fails to check and clear the pmd.
hence,   page fault will produce a new page for pmd when accessing the page,
which thp count will reduplicative increase.

Thanks,
