But the page must be PageLocked as well as pages in split_huge_page series funcs. Thus the PageLocked is enough to serialize both funcs. Further more, Hugh Dickins pointed: before splitting in split_huge_page_to_list, the page was unmap_page() to remove pmd/ptes which protect the page from munlock. Thus, no needs to guard __split_huge_page_tail for mlock clean, just keep the lru_lock there for isolation purpose. LKP found a preempt issue on __mod_zone_page_state which need change to mod_zone_page_state. Thanks!
