Message-ID: <20140425144147.679a7608@annuminas.surriel.com> Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 14:41:47 -0400 From: Rik van Riel <riel@...hat.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux-mm@...ck.org, lwoodman@...hat.com, peterz@...radead.org, mgorman@...e.de, dave.hansen@...el.com, sunil.k.pandey@...el.com Subject: [PATCH] mm,numa: remove BUG_ON in __handle_mm_fault Changing PTEs and PMDs to pte_numa & pmd_numa is done with the mmap_sem held for reading, which means a pmd can be instantiated and/or turned into a numa one while __handle_mm_fault is examining the value of orig_pmd. If that happens, __handle_mm_fault should just return and let the page fault retry, instead of throwing an oops.
