Re: [External] [PATCH] mm: hugetlb: fix dissolve_free_huge_page use of tail/head page

The routine dissolve_free_huge_page can be passed the tail page of a
hugetlb page.  The tail page is incorrectly passed on to the routines
alloc_huge_page_vmemmap and add_hugetlb_page which expect a hugetlb
head page.

Operating on a tail page instead of head page could result in addressing
exceptions or vmemmap corruption.

The code with this issue is only in mmotm (and next).  Specifically
mm: hugetlb: alloc the vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page
Andrew, I assume you will fix in your tree.
Sorry. It's my bad commit. Thanks Mike for fixing this. I suspect this
should be squashed to "mm: hugetlb: alloc the vmemmap pages
associated with each HugeTLB page".

Thanks.
