Pull NUMA balancing memory corruption fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "So these fixes are definitely not something I'd like to sit on, but as
  I said to Mel at the KS the timing is quite tight, with Linus planning
  v3.12-final within a week.

  Fedora-19 is affected:

   comet:~> grep NUMA_BALANCING /boot/config-3.11.3-201.fc19.x86_64

   CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_NUMA_BALANCING=y
   CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING_DEFAULT_ENABLED=y
   CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y

  AFAICS Ubuntu will be affected as well, once it updates the kernel:

   hubble:~> grep NUMA_BALANCING /boot/config-3.8.0-32-generic

   CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_NUMA_BALANCING=y
   CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING_DEFAULT_ENABLED=y
   CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y

  These 6 commits are a minimalized set of cherry-picks needed to fix
  the memory corruption bugs.  All commits are fixes, except "mm: numa:
  Sanitize task_numa_fault() callsites" which is a cleanup that made two
  followup fixes simpler.

  I've done targeted testing with just this SHA1 to try to make sure
  there are no cherry-picking artifacts.  The original non-cherry-picked
  set of fixes were exposed to linux-next for a couple of weeks"

  mm: Account for a THP NUMA hinting update as one PTE update
  mm: Close races between THP migration and PMD numa clearing
  mm: numa: Sanitize task_numa_fault() callsites
  mm: Prevent parallel splits during THP migration
  mm: Wait for THP migrations to complete during NUMA hinting faults
  mm: numa: Do not account for a hinting fault if we raced
