Patch series "thp: fix few MADV_DONTNEED races" For MADV_DONTNEED to work properly with huge pages, it's critical to not clear pmd intermittently unless you hold down_write(mmap_sem). Otherwise MADV_DONTNEED can miss the THP which can lead to userspace breakage. See example of such race in commit message of patch 2/4. All these races are found by code inspection. I haven't seen them triggered. I don't think it's worth to apply them to stable@. This patch (of 4): Restructure code in preparation for a fix.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
