"[PATCH v3 03/14] mm, hugetlb: protect region tracking via newly introduced resv_map lock" fixes a bug, but I'd assumed that it depended on earlier patches. If we think that one is serious then it would be better to cook up a minimal fix which is backportable into 3.12 and eariler? -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
