[PATCH v2 7/8] mm: memory-failure: fetch compound head after extra page refcnt is held
From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Tue Jul 11 2023 - 01:50:34 EST
Page might become thp, huge page or being splited after compound head
is fetched but before page refcnt is bumped. So hpage might be a tail
page leading to VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTail(page)) in PageTransHuge().
Fixes: 415c64c1453a ("mm/memory-failure: split thp earlier in memory error handling")
