    Subject[PATCH v1 0/2] mm/hugetlb: fix write-fault handling for shared mappings
    Date
    I observed that hugetlb does not support/expect write-faults in shared
    mappings that would have to map the R/O-mapped page writable -- and I
    found one case where we could currently get such faults and would
    erroneously map an anon page into a shared mapping, by triggering
    clear_refs to clear soft-dirty tracking at the wrong point in time on a
    process.

    I propose to backport the fix to stable trees, as the fix for write-notify
    should be straight forward.
