From 822fc61367f062d36c5b5a4d517e9bd2b65a741f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Naoya Horiguchi Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2015 16:14:35 -0700 Subject: mm: don't call __page_cache_release for hugetlb __put_compound_page() calls __page_cache_release() to do some freeing work, but it's obviously for thps, not for hugetlb. We don't care because PageLRU is always cleared and page->mem_cgroup is always NULL for hugetlb. But it's not correct and has potential risks, so let's make it conditional.
