Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] mm: don't call __page_cache_release for hugetlb
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2015 08:50:45 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427791840-11247-2-git-send-email-n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1427791840-11247-1-git-send-email-n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com>

__put_compound_page() calls __page_cache_release() to do some freeing works,
but it's obviously for thps, not for hugetlb. We didn't care it because PageLRU
is always cleared and page->mem_cgroup is always NULL for hugetlb.
But it's not correct and has potential risks, so let's make it conditional.
