[merged] khugepaged-collapse_pte_mapped_thp-flush-the-right-range.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: khugepaged: collapse_pte_mapped_thp() flush the right range
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     khugepaged-collapse_pte_mapped_thp-flush-the-right-range.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>
Subject: khugepaged: collapse_pte_mapped_thp() flush the right range

pmdp_collapse_flush() should be given the start address at which the huge
page is mapped, haddr: it was given addr, which at that point has been
used as a local variable, incremented to the end address of the extent.

Found by source inspection while chasing a hugepage locking bug, which I
then could not explain by this.  At first I thought this was very bad;
then saw that all of the page translations that were not flushed would
actually still point to the right pages afterwards, so harmless; then
realized that I know nothing of how different architectures and models
cache intermediate paging structures, so maybe it matters after all -
particularly since the page table concerned is immediately freed.

Much easier to fix than to think about.
