+Subject: [PATCH] mm/shmem: do not wait for lock_page() in
+ shmem_unused_huge_shrink()
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+shmem_unused_huge_shrink() gets called from reclaim path.  Waiting for
+page lock may lead to deadlock there.
+
+There was a bug report that may be attributed to this:
+
+http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LRH.2.11.1801242349220.30642@mail.ewheeler.net
+
+Replace lock_page() with trylock_page() and skip the page if we failed to
+lock it.  We will get to the page on the next scan.
+
+We can test for the PageTransHuge() outside the page lock as we only need
+protection against splitting the page under us.  Holding pin oni the page
+is enough for this.
