When migrating a transparent hugepage, migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page guards itself against a concurrent fastgup of the page by checking that the page count is equal to 2 before and after installing the new pmd. If the page count changes, then the pmd is reverted back to the original entry, however there is a small window where the new (possibly writable) pmd is installed and the underlying page could be written by userspace. Restoring the old pmd could therefore result in loss of data. This patch fixes the problem by freezing the page count whilst updating the page tables, which protects against a concurrent fastgup without the need to restore the old pmd in the failure case (since the page count can no longer change under our feet).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
