Mike Kravetz 3d942ee079 ipc/shm.c: add split function to shm_vm_ops
If System V shmget/shmat operations are used to create a hugetlbfs
backed mapping, it is possible to munmap part of the mapping and split
the underlying vma such that it is not huge page aligned.  This will
untimately result in the following BUG:

This bug was introduced by commit 31383c6865 ("mm, hugetlbfs:
introduce ->split() to vm_operations_struct").  A split function was
added to vm_operations_struct to determine if a mapping can be split.
This was mostly for device-dax and hugetlbfs mappings which have
specific alignment constraints.

Mappings initiated via shmget/shmat have their original vm_ops
overwritten with shm_vm_ops.  shm_vm_ops functions will call back to the
original vm_ops if needed.  Add such a split function to shm_vm_ops.

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.
