The patch titled Subject: mm, hugetlb: use pte_present() instead of pmd_present() in follow_huge_pmd() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-hugetlb-use-pte_present-instead-of-pmd_present-in-follow_huge_pmd.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm, hugetlb: use pte_present() instead of pmd_present() in follow_huge_pmd() I found the race condition which triggers the following bug when move_pages() and soft offline are called on a single hugetlb page concurrently.

Using pmd_present() to determine present/non-present for hugetlb is not correct, because pmd_present() checks multiple bits (not only _PAGE_PRESENT) for historical reason and it can misjudge hugetlb state.
