Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb: add migration/hwpoisoned entry check in
hugetlb_change_protection
There is a race condition between hugepage migration and
change_protection(), where hugetlb_change_protection() doesn't care about
migration entries and wrongly overwrites them. That causes unexpected
results like kernel crash. HWPoison entries also can cause the same
problem.
This patch adds is_hugetlb_entry_(migration|hwpoisoned) check in this
function to do proper actions.
Fixes: 290408d4a2 ("hugetlb: hugepage migration core")
