Subject[PATCH v9 0/3] fix hugetlb MADV_DONTNEED vma_lock handling
Date
This series addresses the issue first reported in [1], and fully
described in patch 3. While exploring solutions to this issue,
related problems with mmu notification calls were discovered. The
first two patches address those issues.

Previous discussions suggested further cleanup by removing the
routine zap_page_range. This is possible because zap_page_range_single
is now exported, and all callers of zap_page_range pass ranges entirely
within a single vma. This work will be done in a later patch so as not
to distract from this bug fix.

Mike Kravetz (3):
madvise: use zap_page_range_single for madvise dontneed
hugetlb: remove duplicate mmu notifications
hugetlb: don't delete vma_lock in hugetlb MADV_DONTNEED processing
