Subject: [PATCH] mm/migrate: Fix ref-count handling when !hugepage_migration_supported()
On failing to migrate a page, soft_offline_huge_page() performs the
necessary update to the hugepage ref-count. When
!hugepage_migration_supported() , unmap_and_move_hugepage() also
decrements the page ref-count for the hugepage. The combined behaviour
leaves the ref-count in an inconsistent state.
This leads to soft lockups when running the overcommitted hugepage test
from mce-tests suite.

Fix this by dropping the ref-count decrement in
unmap_and_move_hugepage() when !hugepage_migration_supported().

Hi Andrew,
We ran into this bug when working towards enabling memory corruption
on arm64. The patch was tested on an arm64 platform running v4.12-rc2
with the series to enable memory corruption handling[0].
Please consider merging as a fix for the 4.12 release.
Thanks,
Punit
