A migrating transparent huge page has to already be unmapped. Otherwise, the page could be modified while it is being copied to a new page and data could be lost. The function __split_huge_pmd() checks for a PMD migration entry before calling __split_huge_pmd_locked() leading one to think that __split_huge_pmd_locked() can handle splitting a migrating PMD. However, the code always increments the page->_mapcount and adjusts the memory control group accounting assuming the page is mapped. Also, if the PMD entry is a migration PMD entry, the call to is_huge_zero_pmd(*pmd) is incorrect because it calls pmd_pfn(pmd) instead of migration_entry_to_pfn(pmd_to_swp_entry(pmd)). Fix these problems by checking for a PMD migration entry.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
