mainlining shenanigans
1571c029a2
When inserting entry into xarray, we store mapping and index in
corresponding struct pages for memory error handling. When it happened
that one process was mapping file at PMD granularity while another
process at PTE granularity, we could wrongly deassociate PMD range and
then reassociate PTE range leaving the rest of struct pages in PMD range
without mapping information which could later cause missed notifications
about memory errors. Fix the problem by calling the association /
deassociation code if and only if we are really going to update the
xarray (deassociating and associating zero or empty entries is just
no-op so there's no reason to complicate the code with trying to avoid
the calls for these cases).

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 Restructured Text 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.
