From: Kai Shen <shenkai8@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 2bf753e64b4a702e27ce26ff520c59563c62f96b upstream. spinlock recursion happened when do LTP test: #!/bin/bash ./runltp -p -f hugetlb & ./runltp -p -f hugetlb & ./runltp -p -f hugetlb & ./runltp -p -f hugetlb & ./runltp -p -f hugetlb & The dtor returned by get_compound_page_dtor in __put_compound_page may be the function of free_huge_page which will lock the hugetlb_lock, so don't put_page in lock of hugetlb_lock.
