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.

The kernel recovers in due course from missing Mlocked pages: but there was no point in calling page_mlock() (formerly known as try_to_munlock()) on a THP, because nothing got done even when it was found to be mapped in another VM_LOCKED vma. It's true that we need to be careful: Mlocked accounting of pte-mapped THPs is too difficult (so consistently avoided); but Mlocked accounting of only-pmd-mapped THPs is supposed to work, even when multiple mappings are mlocked and munlocked or munmapped. Refine the tests. There is already a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageDoubleMap) in page_mlock(), so page_mlock_one() does not even have to worry about that complication. (I said the kernel recovers: but would page reclaim be likely to split THP before rediscovering that it's VM_LOCKED? I've not followed that up) Fixes: 9a73f61b ("thp, mlock: do not mlock PTE-mapped file huge pages") Signed-off-by:Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Reviewed-by:
