[v3][PATCH 1/2] mm: hugetlbfs: Add VM_BUG_ON()s to catch non-hugetlbfs pages

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Fri Nov 15 2013 - 17:56:14 EST



From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes from v2:
* Removed the VM_BUG_ON() from copy_huge_page() since the
next patch makes it able to handle non-hugetlbfs pages

--

Dave Jiang reported that he was seeing oopses when running
NUMA systems and default_hugepagesz=1G. I traced the issue down
to migrate_page_copy() trying to use the same code for hugetlb
pages and transparent hugepages. It should not have been trying
to pass thp pages in there.

So, add a VM_BUG_ON()s for the next hapless developer that
tries to use page_hstate() on a non-hugetlbfs page.
