[PATCH 1/2] mm: hugetlbfs: Add some VM_BUG_ON()s to catch non-hugetlbfs pages

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Mon Oct 28 2013 - 18:16:24 EST



Dave Jiang reported that he was seeing oopses when running
NUMA systems and default_hugepagesz=1G. I traced the issue down
to migrate_page_copy() trying to use the same code for hugetlb
pages and transparent hugepages. It should not have been trying
to pass thp pages in there.

So, add some VM_BUG_ON()s for the next hapless VM developer that
tries the same thing.
