From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/thp: another PVMW_SYNC fix in page_vma_mapped_walk() Aha! Shouldn't that quick scan over pte_none()s make sure that it holds ptlock in the PVMW_SYNC case? That too might have been responsible for BUGs or WARNs in split_huge_page_to_list() or its unmap_page(), though I've never seen any.
