Rongwei Wang 55fc0d9174 mm, thp: lock filemap when truncating page cache
Patch series "fix two bugs for file THP".

This patch (of 2):

Transparent huge page has supported read-only non-shmem files.  The
file- backed THP is collapsed by khugepaged and truncated when written
(for shared libraries).

However, there is a race when multiple writers truncate the same page
cache concurrently.

In that case, subpage(s) of file THP can be revealed by find_get_entry
in truncate_inode_pages_range, which will trigger PageTail BUG_ON in
truncate_inode_page, as follows:

    page:000000009e420ff2 refcount:1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x7ff pfn:0x50c3ff

This patch mainly to lock filemap when one enter truncate_pagecache(),
avoiding truncating the same page cache concurrently.

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.
