thp: keep huge zero page pinned until tlb flush
Andrea has found[1] a race condition on MMU-gather based TLB flush vs split_huge_page() or shrinker which frees huge zero under us (patch 1/2 and 2/2 respectively). With new THP refcounting, we don't need patch 1/2: mmu_gather keeps the page pinned until flush is complete and the pin prevents the page from being split under us. We still need patch 2/2. This is simplified version of Andrea's patch. We don't need fancy encoding. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
