[PATCH v6 5/5] mm: hugetlb: remove VM_BUG_ON_PAGE from page_huge_active

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The page_huge_active() can be called from scan_movable_pages() which
do not hold a reference count to the HugeTLB page. So when we call
page_huge_active() from scan_movable_pages(), the HugeTLB page can
be freed parallel. Then we will trigger a BUG_ON which is in the
page_huge_active() when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled. Just remove the
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE.
