The patch titled Subject: thp: fix split_huge_page vs. deferred_split_scan race has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was thp-introduce-deferred_split_huge_page-fix.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into thp-introduce-deferred_split_huge_page.patch ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: thp: fix split_huge_page vs. deferred_split_scan race Minchan[1] and Sasha[2] had reported crash in split_huge_page_to_list() called from deferred_split_scan() due VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLocked(page)). This can happen because race between deferred_split_scan() and split_huge_page(). The result of the race is that the page can be split under deferred_split_scan(). The patch prevents this by taking split_queue_lock in split_huge_page_to_list() when we check if the page can be split. If the page is suitable for splitting, we remove page from splitting queue under the same lock, before splitting starts.
