commit
7a71932d5676b7410ab64d149bad8bde6b0d8632 upstream.
KPF_THP can be set on non-huge compound pages (like slab pages or pages
allocated by drivers with __GFP_COMP) because PageTransCompound only
checks PG_head and PG_tail. Obviously this is a bug and breaks user space
applications which look for thp via /proc/kpageflags.
This patch rules out setting KPF_THP wrongly by additionally checking
PageLRU on the head pages.
