Subject[PATCH] prevent deadlock in __unmap_hugepage_range() when alloc_huge_page() fails.
From
Date

hugetlb_fault() takes the mm->page_table_lock spinlock then calls
hugetlb_cow(). If the alloc_huge_page() in hugetlb_cow() fails due to
an insufficient huge page pool it calls unmap_ref_private() with the
mm->page_table_lock held. unmap_ref_private() then calls
unmap_hugepage_range() which tries to acquire the mm->page_table_lock.

This can be fixed by dropping the mm->page_table_lock around the call
to unmap_ref_private() if alloc_huge_page() fails, its dropped right below
in the normal path anyway:
