[mmotm][PATCH 1/2] mm/hugetlb: improve suboptimal migration/hwpoisoned entry check

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Fri Sep 26 2014 - 16:43:51 EST


Currently hugetlb_fault() checks at first whether pte of the faulted
address is a migration or hwpoisoned entry. The reason of this approach
is that without the checks, the BUG_ON() in huge_pte_alloc() is triggered,
because it assumes that when pte is not none, it always points to a
normal hugepage, which was correct originally but not after hugetlb
supports page migration or hwpoison.

In order to iron out this weird workaround, this patch changes the
wrongly assumed BUG_ON() in huge_pte_alloc(). This allows us to check
pte_present() case only in proper place, which makes code simpler.
