Zi Yan 13167cf417 mm: migrate: fix an incorrect call of prep_transhuge_page() 
commit 40a899ed16 upstream.

In https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/20/411, Andrea reported that during
memory hotplug/hot remove prep_transhuge_page() is called incorrectly on
non-THP pages for migration, when THP is on but THP migration is not
enabled.  This leads to a bad state of target pages for migration.

By inspecting the code, if called on a non-THP, prep_transhuge_page()
will

 1) change the value of the mapping of (page + 2), since it is used for
    THP deferred list;

 2) change the lru value of (page + 1), since it is used for THP's dtor.

Both can lead to data corruption of these two pages.

Andrea said:
 "Pragmatically and from the point of view of the memory_hotplug subsys,
  the effect is a kernel crash when pages are being migrated during a
  memory hot remove offline and migration target pages are found in a
  bad state"

This patch fixes it by only calling prep_transhuge_page() when we are
certain that the target page is THP.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
