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 Restructured Text 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.

commit 14c99d65 upstream. Currently the implementation will split the PUD when a fallback is taken inside the create_huge_pud function. This isn't where it should be done: the splitting should be done in wp_huge_pud, just like it's done for PMDs. Reason being that if a callback is taken during create, there is no PUD yet so nothing to split, whereas if a fallback is taken when encountering a write protection fault there is something to split. It looks like this was the original intention with the commit where the splitting was introduced, but somehow it got moved to the wrong place between v1 and v2 of the patch series. Rebase mistake perhaps.
