[PATCH] mm: migration: deposit page table when copying a PMD migration entry.

From: Zi Yan
Date: Mon Oct 30 2017 - 10:46:43 EST


From: Zi Yan <zi.yan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We need to deposit pre-allocated PTE page table when a PMD migration
entry is copied in copy_huge_pmd(). Otherwise, we will leak the
pre-allocated page and cause a NULL pointer dereference later
in zap_huge_pmd().

The missing counters during PMD migration entry copy process are added
as well.

The bug report is here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/29/214

Fixes: 84c3fc4e9c563 ("mm: thp: check pmd migration entry in common path")
