Subject: [PATCH 3.8 76/91] mm: Prevent parallel splits during THP migration

3.8.13.13 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@...e.de>

commit 587fe586f44a48f9691001ba6c45b86c8e4ba21f upstream.

THP migrations are serialised by the page lock but on its own that does
not prevent THP splits. If the page is split during THP migration then
the pmd_same checks will prevent page table corruption but the unlock page
and other fix-ups potentially will cause corruption. This patch takes the
anon_vma lock to prevent parallel splits during migration.
