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 2b21624f ("hugetlb: freeze allocated pages before creating hugetlb pages") changed the order page flags were cleared and set in the head page. It moved the __ClearPageReserved after __SetPageHead. However, there is a check to make sure __ClearPageReserved is never done on a head page. If CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS is enabled, the following BUG will be hit when creating a hugetlb gigantic page: page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(1 && PageCompound(page)) ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at include/linux/page-flags.h:500! Call Trace will differ depending on whether hugetlb page is created at boot time or run time. Make sure to __ClearPageReserved BEFORE __SetPageHead.
