From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/thp: refix __split_huge_pmd_locked() for migration PMD Migration entries do not contribute to a page's reference count: move __split_huge_pmd_locked()'s page_ref_add() into pmd_migration's else block (along with the page_count() check - a page is quite likely to have reference count frozen to 0 when a migration entry is found). This will fix a very rare anonymous memory leak, after a split_huge_pmd() raced with an anon split_huge_page() or an anon THP migrate_pages(): since the wrongly raised refcount stopped the page (perhaps small, perhaps huge, depending on when the race hit) from ever being freed. At first I thought there were worse risks, from prematurely unfreezing a frozen page: but now think that would only affect page cache pages, which do not come this way (except for anonymous pages in swap cache, perhaps).
