Huh ... I need to look into why my xfstests run is skipping generic/083:

0006 generic/083 3s ... run fstests generic/083 at 2020-11-26 12:11:52
0006 [not run] this test requires a valid $SCRATCH_MNT and unique
0006 Ran: generic/083
0006 Not run: generic/083

It also needs a put_page(page);

That's now taken care of by truncate_inode_partial_page(), so if we're
not calling that, we need to put the page as well. ie this:

+++ b/mm/shmem.c
@@ -954,6 +954,9 @@ static void shmem_undo_range(struct inode *inode, loff_t lstart, loff_t lend,
page, lstart, lend);
if (index > end)
end = indices[i] - 1;
+ } else {
+ unlock_page(page);
+ put_page(page);
}
}
index = indices[i - 1] + 1;
