The patch below does not apply to the 4.4-stable tree.

Subject: [PATCH] hugetlbfs: Use i_mmap_rwsem to fix page fault/truncate race

You don't want to apply it anyway, it got reverted upstream in commit e7c58097793e ("hugetlbfs: revert "Use i_mmap_rwsem to fix page fault/truncate race"").

As did commit b43a99900559 ("hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing synchronization") which got reverted by ddeaab32a89f ("hugetlbfs: revert "use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing synchronization"")

Ok, let me drop both of these as I added them all to the stable trees. Thanks for letting me know.
