[PATCH 3.4 04/12] mm/memory-failure.c: recheck PageHuge() after hugetlb page migrate successfully

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sat Jan 25 2014 - 22:08:29 EST


3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jianguo Wu <wujianguo@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit a49ecbcd7b0d5a1cda7d60e03df402dd0ef76ac8 upstream.

After a successful hugetlb page migration by soft offline, the source
page will either be freed into hugepage_freelists or buddy(over-commit
page). If page is in buddy, page_hstate(page) will be NULL. It will
hit a NULL pointer dereference in dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page().

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000058
IP: [<ffffffff81163761>] dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page+0x131/0x1d0
PGD c23762067 PUD c24be2067 PMD 0
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP

So check PageHuge(page) after call migrate_pages() successfully.

[wujg: backport to 3.4:
- adjust context
- s/num_poisoned_pages/mce_bad_pages/]
