Subject: mm/hugetlb: correct demote page offset logic
Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2022 12:09:17 -0700
With gigantic pages it may not be true that struct page structures are
contiguous across the entire gigantic page. The nth_page macro is used
here in place of direct pointer arithmetic to correct for this.
Mike said:
: This error could cause addressing exceptions. However, this is only
: possible in configurations where CONFIG_SPARSEMEM &&
: !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. Such a configuration option is rare and
: unknown to be the default anywhere.
