Changes from v1:

From: Dave Hansen <dave.han...@linux.intel.com>
Right now, the migration code in migrate_page_copy() uses
copy_huge_page() for hugetlbfs and thp pages:
if (PageHuge(page) || PageTransHuge(page))
copy_huge_page(newpage, page);
So, yay for code reuse. But:
void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
{
struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
and a non-hugetlbfs page has no page_hstate(). This works 99% of
the time because page_hstate() determines the hstate from the
page order alone. Since the page order of a THP page matches the
default hugetlbfs page order, it works.
But, if you change the default huge page size on the boot
command-line (say default_hugepagesz=1G), then we might not even
*have* a 2MB hstate so page_hstate() returns null and
copy_huge_page() oopses pretty fast since copy_huge_page()
dereferences the hstate:
void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
{
struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
if (unlikely(pages_per_huge_page(h) > MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES)) {
...
Mel noticed that the migration code is really the only user of
these functions. This moves all the copy code over to migrate.c
and makes copy_huge_page() work for THP by checking for it
explicitly.
I believe the bug was introduced in b32967ff101:

mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case.
