Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:19:52 +0100 From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com> To: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@...hat.com>, Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>, Dave Jones <davej@...hat.com>, Darren Hart <dvhart@...ux.intel.com>, Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>, Mel Gorman <mgorman@...e.de>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH -mm 2/7] mm: thp: change __get_page_tail() to use __put_nontail_page() __get_page_tail() can use __put_nontail_page() instead of put_page() if it races with split_huge_page(). This is what put_compound_page() does, so this is equally safe. And this allows us to factor out this code later.
