The patch titled
     Subject: mm/gup: check every subpage of a compound page during isolation
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-gup-check-every-subpage-of-a-compound-page-during-isolation.patch

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

Subject: mm/gup: check every subpage of a compound page during isolation

When pages are isolated in check_and_migrate_movable_pages() we skip
compound number of pages at a time.  However, as Jason noted, it is not
necessary correct that pages[i] corresponds to the pages that we skipped. 
This is because it is possible that the addresses in this range had
split_huge_pmd()/split_huge_pud(), and these functions do not update the
compound page metadata.

The problem can be reproduced if something like this occurs:

1. User faulted huge pages.
2. split_huge_pmd() was called for some reason
3. User has unmapped some sub-pages in the range
4. User tries to longterm pin the addresses.

The resulting pages[i] might end-up having pages which are not compound
size page aligned.
