Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) 198b62f83e mm/filemap: fix storing to a THP shadow entry
When a THP is removed from the page cache by reclaim, we replace it with a
shadow entry that occupies all slots of the XArray previously occupied by
the THP.  If the user then accesses that page again, we only allocate a
single page, but storing it into the shadow entry replaces all entries
with that one page.  That leads to bugs like

page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_to_pgoff(page) != offset)
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:2529!

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206569

This is hard to reproduce with mainline, but happens regularly with the
THP patchset (as so many more THPs are created).  This solution is take
from the THP patchset.  It splits the shadow entry into order-0 pieces at
the time that we bring a new page into cache.

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.
