The patch titled
Subject: mm: numa: disable change protection for vma(VM_HUGETLB)
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-numa-disable-change-protection-for-vmavm_hugetlb.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: numa: disable change protection for vma(VM_HUGETLB)
Currently when a process accesses a hugetlb range protected with PROTNONE,
unexpected COWs are triggered, which finally puts the hugetlb subsystem
into a broken/uncontrollable state, where for example h->resv_huge_pages
is subtracted too much and wraps around to a very large number, and the
free hugepage pool is no longer maintainable.
This patch simply stops changing protection for vma(VM_HUGETLB) to fix the
problem. And this also allows us to avoid useless overhead of minor
faults.
