Subject[PATCH] mm: migrate: fix an incorrect call of prep_transhuge_page()
Date
From: Zi Yan <zi.yan@cs.rutgers.edu>

In [1], Andrea reported that during memory hotplug/hot remove
prep_transhuge_page() is called incorrectly on non-THP pages for
migration, when THP is on but THP migration is not enabled.
This leads to a bad state of target pages for migration.

This patch fixes it by only calling prep_transhuge_page() when we are
certain that the target page is THP.
