This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mm/huge_memory.c: don't discard hugepage if other processes are mapping it to the 5.13-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mm-huge_memory.c-don-t-discard-hugepage-if-other-pro.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.13 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0872f648a820acdd3f8082b7c81d072e3b62cb78 Author: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jun 30 18:47:57 2021 -0700 mm/huge_memory.c: don't discard hugepage if other processes are mapping it [ Upstream commit babbbdd08af98a59089334eb3effbed5a7a0cf7f ] If other processes are mapping any other subpages of the hugepage, i.e. in pte-mapped thp case, page_mapcount() will return 1 incorrectly. Then we would discard the page while other processes are still mapping it. Fix it by using total_mapcount() which can tell whether other processes are still mapping it.
