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 3ce2c24c upstream. The local variable @page in __split_vmemmap_huge_pmd() to obtain a pmd page without holding page_table_lock may possiblely get the page table page instead of a huge pmd page. The effect may be in set_pte_at() since we may pass an invalid page struct, if set_pte_at() wants to access the page struct (e.g. CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK is enabled), it may crash the kernel. So fix it. And inline __split_vmemmap_huge_pmd() since it only has one user.
