mm: fix kernel BUG at huge_memory.c:1474!
Andrea's autonuma-benchmark numa01 hits kernel BUG at huge_memory.c:1474! in change_huge_pmd called from change_protection from change_prot_numa from task_numa_work. That BUG, introduced in the huge zero page commit cad7f613 ("thp: change_huge_pmd(): make sure we don't try to make a page writable") was trying to verify that newprot never adds write permission to an anonymous huge page; but Automatic NUMA Balancing's 4b10e7d5 ("mm: mempolicy: Implement change_prot_numa() in terms of change_protection()") adds a new prot_numa path into change_huge_pmd(), which makes no use of the newprot provided, and may retain the write bit in the pmd. Just move the BUG_ON(pmd_write(entry)) up into the !prot_numa block. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
