3.2.69-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Naoya Horiguchi <[email protected]> commit a8bda28d87c38c6aa93de28ba5d30cc18e865a11 upstream. There is a race condition between hugepage migration and change_protection(), where hugetlb_change_protection() doesn't care about migration entries and wrongly overwrites them. That causes unexpected results like kernel crash. HWPoison entries also can cause the same problem. This patch adds is_hugetlb_entry_(migration|hwpoisoned) check in this function to do proper actions.
