If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Naoya Horiguchi commit 3aaa76e125c1dd58c9b599baa8c6021896874c12 upstream. Since commit bcc54222309c ("mm: hugetlb: introduce page_huge_active") each hugetlb page maintains its active flag to avoid a race condition betwe= en multiple calls of isolate_huge_page(), but current kernel doesn't set the f= lag on a hugepage allocated by migration because the proper putback routine isn= 't called. This means that users could still encounter the race referred to by bcc54222309c in this special case, so this patch fixes it.
