Subject: Re: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb: Fix a race between hugetlb sysctl handlers

> Fixes: e5ff215941d5 ("hugetlb: multiple hstates for multiple page sizes")

I don't think the Fixes line is correct. The original patch
just used a global variable and didn't have this race.
It must have been added later in some other patch that added
hugetlb_sysctl_handler_common.
