This series contains a few patches to fix the race with changing page compound page, fix potential VM_BUG_ON_PAGE and so on. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 4): There is a race window where we got the compound_head, the hugetlb page could be freed to buddy, or even changed to another compound page just before we try to get hwpoison page. If this happens, just bail out.
