The CMA pages migration code does not support compound pages at the moment so it performs few tests before proceeding to actual page migration. One of the tests - PageTransHuge() - has VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTail()) as it should be called on head pages. Since we also test for PageCompound(), and it contains PageTail(), we can simply move PageCompound() in front of PageTransHuge() and therefore avoid possible VM_BUG_ON_PAGE. Signed-off-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <redacted> --- Some of actual POWER8 systems do crash on that BUG_ON.So this is: Fixes: 2e5bbb5461f1 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Migrate pinned pages out of CMA") And therefore: Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.9+ ?
May be, first I want to make sure this is enough fix, this is why I (re)added Balbir in cc list. -- Alexey
