Jann Horn 52084f258e mm/gup: update comment explaining why gup_fast() disables IRQs 
The current comment in gup_fast() talks about "IPIs that come from THPs
splitting", which is outdated and refers to the old THP splitting
implementation that was removed in commit ad0bed24e9 ("thp: drop all
split_huge_page()-related code"), which landed in v4.5.  Before then, THP
splitting involved a pmdp_splitting_flush(), which sent an IPI to
serialize against gup_fast().

Nowadays, we use tlb_remove_table_sync_one() to send IPIs that serialize
against gup_fast(); this is used, for example, in THP *collapsing* to stop
gup_fast() walks of a page table before depositing it.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
