------------------------------------------------------ From: Rongwei Wang rongwei.wang@linux.alibaba.com Subject: mm, thp: lock filemap when truncating page cache

Patch series "fix two bugs for file THP".

This patch (of 2):

Transparent huge page has supported read-only non-shmem files. The file- backed THP is collapsed by khugepaged and truncated when written (for shared libraries).

However, there is a race when multiple writers truncate the same page cache concurrently.

In that case, subpage(s) of file THP can be revealed by find_get_entry in truncate_inode_pages_range, which will trigger PageTail BUG_ON in truncate_inode_page, as follows.
