Hello!
After some more investigating, it seems while the original patch fixes a race with hugetlbfs, it creates an issue for vfio which results in a WARN which will fail xfstests when they _check_dmesg. I have been able to resolve this on our kernel. Today I'll check which upstream kernels it is applicable to and send out fixes where needed.

Is it worth reverting the original bad backport for now, given it causes xfstests failures?
Sounds like a good idea to me, anyone want to submit the revert so we can queue it up?
Thanks for the nudge, I wasn't planning on but why not?

Hope I've done it right. Cheers.
Looks good, I'll queue them up for the next round of releases after this one is out, unless someone fixes this up before then.
thanks,
