[merged] mm-migrate-fix-ref-count-handling-when-hugepage_migration_supported-v2.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm/migrate: fix refcount handling when !hugepage_migration_supported()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-migrate-fix-ref-count-handling-when-hugepage_migration_supported-v2.patch

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

From: Punit Agrawal <punit.agrawal@arm.com>
Subject: mm/migrate: fix refcount 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.

Address this by changing the putback_active_hugepage() in
soft_offline_huge_page() to putback_movable_pages().

This only triggers on systems that enable memory failure handling
(ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE) but not hugepage migration
(!ARCH_ENABLE_HUGEPAGE_MIGRATION).

I imagine this wasn't triggered as there aren't many systems running this
configuration.
