This seems to cause a list breakage in hstate->hugepage_activelist
when freeing a hugetlbfs page.
This looks like a fall out from
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=140475936311294&w=2

I didn't get to review this one but the easiest fix seems to be check
HugePage and do not call uncharge.
Yes, that makes sense.  I'm also moving the uncharge call into
__put_single_page() and __put_compound_page() so that PageHuge(), a
function call, only needs to be checked for compound pages.

For hugetlbfs, we uncharge in free_huge_page() which is called after
__page_cache_release(), so I think that we don't have to uncharge here.

In my testing, moving mem_cgroup_uncharge() inside if (PageLRU) block
fixed the problem, so if that works for you, could you fold the change
into your patch?
Memcg pages that *do* need uncharging might not necessarily be on the
LRU list.
OK.

Does the following work for you?
Unfortunately, with this change I saw the following bug message when
stressing with hugepage migration.
move_to_new_page() is called by unmap_and_move_huge_page() too, so
we need some hugetlb related code around mem_cgroup_migrate().
Can we just move hugetlb_cgroup_migrate() into move_to_new_page()?  It
doesn't seem to be dependent of any page-specific state.
