SubjectRe: [PATCH v1] mm: migrate: hugetlb: putback destination hugepage to active list
Date
my bad, this patch is totally unrelated to the thread the previous email
replied to. I just mishandled my script wrapping git-send-email, sorry.

But just resending patch seems to be noisy, so I want this to be reviewed
on this email.
If it's inconvenient or uncommon way of submission, please let me know and
I'll resend in a new thread.

Thanks,
Naoya Horiguchi
