The patch titled
     Subject: mm, thp: fix mapped pages avoiding unevictable list on mlock
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-thp-fix-mapped-pages-avoiding-unevictable-list-on-mlock.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm, thp: fix mapped pages avoiding unevictable list on mlock

When a transparent hugepage is mapped and it is included in an mlock()
range, follow_page() incorrectly avoids setting the page's mlock bit and
moving it to the unevictable lru.

This is evident if you try to mlock(), munlock(), and then mlock() a
range again.  Currently:

	#define MAP_SIZE	(4 << 30)	/* 4GB */

	void *ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
			 MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		$ grep -E "Unevictable|Inactive\(anon" /proc/meminfo
		Inactive(anon):     6304 kB
		Unevictable:     4213924 kB

	munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):  4186252 kB
		Unevictable:       19652 kB

	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):  4198556 kB
		Unevictable:       21684 kB

Notice that less than 2MB was added to the unevictable list; this is
because these pages in the range are not transparent hugepages since the
4GB range was allocated with mmap() and has no specific alignment.  If
posix_memalign() were used instead, unevictable would not have grown at
all on the second mlock().

The fix is to call mlock_vma_page() so that the mlock bit is set and the
page is added to the unevictable list.  With this patch:

	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):     4056 kB
		Unevictable:     4213940 kB

	munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):  4198268 kB
		Unevictable:       19636 kB

	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):     4008 kB
		Unevictable:     4213940 kB
