[PATCH v2] mm:mempolicy: skip VM_HUGETLB and VM_MIXEDMAP VMA for lazy mbind

From: Liang Chen
Date: Wed Jan 20 2016 - 09:08:52 EST


VM_HUGETLB and VM_MIXEDMAP vma needs to be excluded to avoid compound
pages being marked for migration and unexpected COWs when handling
hugetlb fault.

Thanks to Naoya Horiguchi for reminding me on these checks.
