Hugh Dickins a7027b7d69 mm/huge_memory.c: __split_huge_page() use atomic ClearPageDirty() 
commit 2d077d4b59 upstream.

Swapping load on huge=always tmpfs (with khugepaged tuned up to be very
eager, but I'm not sure that is relevant) soon hung uninterruptibly,
waiting for page lock in shmem_getpage_gfp()'s find_lock_entry(), most
often when "cp -a" was trying to write to a smallish file.  Debug showed
that the page in question was not locked, and page->mapping NULL by now,
but page->index consistent with having been in a huge page before.

Reproduced in minutes on a 4.15 kernel, even with 4.17's 605ca5ede7
("mm/huge_memory.c: reorder operations in __split_huge_page_tail()") added
in; but took hours to reproduce on a 4.17 kernel (no idea why).

The culprit proved to be the __ClearPageDirty() on tails beyond i_size in
__split_huge_page(): the non-atomic __bitoperation may have been safe when
4.8's baa355fd33 ("thp: file pages support for split_huge_page()")
introduced it, but liable to erase PageWaiters after 4.10's 6290602709
("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit").

README 

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.
