Andrew Bresticker ab1ffc86cb mm/memory: don't require head page for do_set_pmd()
The requirement that the head page be passed to do_set_pmd() was added in
commit ef37b2ea08 ("mm/memory: page_add_file_rmap() ->
folio_add_file_rmap_[pte|pmd]()") and prevents pmd-mapping in the
finish_fault() and filemap_map_pages() paths if the page to be inserted is
anything but the head page for an otherwise suitable vma and pmd-sized
page.

Matthew said:

: We're going to stop using PMDs to map large folios unless the fault is
: within the first 4KiB of the PMD.  No idea how many workloads that
: affects, but it only needs to be backported as far as v6.8, so we may
: as well backport it.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
