FWIW - The 'migration of huge PMD shared pages' issue I am working was originally triggered via soft-offline. While working the issue, I tried to exercise huge page soft-offline really hard to recreate the issue and validate a fix. However, I was more likely to hit the soft-offline race(s) your patches address. Therefore, I applied your patches to focus my testing and validation on the migration of huge PMD shared pages issue. That is sort of a Tested-by :). Just wanted to point out that it was pretty easy to hit this issue. It was easier than the issue I am working. And, the issue I am trying to address was seen in a real customer environment. So, I would not be surprised to see this issue in real customer environments as well. If you (or others) think we should go forward with these patches, I can spend some time doing a review. Already did a 'quick look' some time back. -- Mike Kravetz
