Please give this a try: I think it's right, but I could easily be wrong.


[PATCH] thp: fix DEBUG_PAGEALLOC oops in copy_page_rep

Trinity has for over a year been reporting a CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
oops in copy_page_rep() called from copy_user_huge_page() called from
do_huge_pmd_wp_page().

I believe this is a DEBUG_PAGEALLOC false positive, due to the source
page being split, and a tail page freed, while copy is in progress; and
not a problem without DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since the pmd_same() check will
prevent a miscopy from being made visible.

Fix by adding get_user_huge_page() and put_user_huge_page(): reducing
to the usual get_page() and put_page() on head page in the usual config;
but get and put references to all of the tail pages when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.
