Subject: [PATCH 2/3] migration: Fix page corruption during hugepage migration
Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2011 01:17:06 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ffab7f865b626cc7c62d18c612700b86ff53391c.1295539829.git.minchan.kim@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <f60d811fd1abcb68d40ac19af35881d700a97cd2.1295539829.git.minchan.kim@gmail.com>

If migrate_huge_page by memory-failure fails , it calls put_page in itself
to decrease page reference and caller of migrate_huge_page also calls
putback_lru_pages. It can do double free of page so it can make page
corruption on page holder.

In addtion, clean of pages on caller is consistent behavior with
migrate_pages by cf608ac19c95804dc2df43b1f4f9e0.
