+Subject: mm/hugetlb: improve locking in dissolve_free_huge_pages()
+
+From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com>
+
+commit eb03aa008561004257900983193d024e57abdd96 upstream.
+
+For every pfn aligned to minimum_order, dissolve_free_huge_pages() will
+call dissolve_free_huge_page() which takes the hugetlb spinlock, even if
+the page is not huge at all or a hugepage that is in-use.
+
+Improve this by doing the PageHuge() and page_count() checks already in
+dissolve_free_huge_pages() before calling dissolve_free_huge_page().  In
+dissolve_free_huge_page(), when holding the spinlock, those checks need
+to be revalidated.
