    mm/hugetlb: add migration/hwpoisoned entry check in hugetlb_change_protection · 13645c4a
    Naoya Horiguchi authored
    commit a8bda28d upstream.
    
    There is a race condition between hugepage migration and
    change_protection(), where hugetlb_change_protection() doesn't care about
    migration entries and wrongly overwrites them.  That causes unexpected
    results like kernel crash.  HWPoison entries also can cause the same
    problem.
    
    This patch adds is_hugetlb_entry_(migration|hwpoisoned) check in this
    function to do proper actions.
    
    Fixes: 290408d4 ("hugetlb: hugepage migration core")
