Re: [PATCH v1] mm: hugetlb: call huge_pte_alloc() only if ptep is null

> 
> Currently at the beginning of hugetlb_fault(), we call huge_pte_offset()
> and check whether the obtained *ptep is a migration/hwpoison entry or not.
> And if not, then we get to call huge_pte_alloc(). This is racy because the
> *ptep could turn into migration/hwpoison entry after the huge_pte_offset()
> check. This race results in BUG_ON in huge_pte_alloc().

> We don't have to call huge_pte_alloc() when the huge_pte_offset() returns
> non-NULL, so let's fix this bug with moving the code into else block.

> Note that the *ptep could turn into a migration/hwpoison entry after

> check later (we never go into hugetlb_no_page() in that case.)
