3.8.13.16 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Mel Gorman <[email protected]> commit c3a489cac38d43ea6dc4ac240473b44b46deecf7 upstream. The anon_vma lock prevents parallel THP splits and any associated complexity that arises when handling splits during THP migration. This patch checks if the lock was successfully acquired and bails from THP migration if it failed for any reason.
