commit3489dbb696upstream. Patch series "Fixes for hugetlb mapcount at most 1 for shared PMDs". This issue of mapcount in hugetlb pages referenced by shared PMDs was discussed in [1]. The following two patches address user visible behavior caused by this issue. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/Y9BF+OCdWnCSilEu@monkey/ This patch (of 2): A hugetlb page will have a mapcount of 1 if mapped by multiple processes via a shared PMD. This is because only the first process increases the map count, and subsequent processes just add the shared PMD page to their page table. page_mapcount is being used to decide if a hugetlb page is shared or private in /proc/PID/smaps. Pages referenced via a shared PMD were incorrectly being counted as private. To fix, check for a shared PMD if mapcount is 1. If a shared PMD is found count the hugetlb page as shared. A new helper to check for a shared PMD is added.

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.
