It includes allocations which where There is a sentense related to the adjustment on futex code you just removed in patch 15/19 in "get_user_pages and follow_page" section. ... split_huge_page() to avoid the head and tail pages to disappear from under it, see the futex code to see an example of that, hugetlbfs also needed special handling in futex code for similar reasons). this seems obsolete, so we need some change on this?
