In try_to_split_thp_page(), if split_huge_page fails, i.e. ret != 0, put_page() is called. See below:

static int try_to_split_thp_page(struct page *page)
{
int ret;

lock_page(page);
ret = split_huge_page(page);
unlock_page(page);

if (unlikely(ret))
put_page(page);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
return ret;
}

Or am I miss something?

Only in MF_ACTION_REQUIRED case, SIGBUS is sent to processes when thp split failed. Any reson under it?

Thanks.
