Eric Biggers 263630e8d1 mm/madvise.c: fix freeing of locked page with MADV_FREE
If madvise(..., MADV_FREE) split a transparent hugepage, it called
put_page() before unlock_page().

This was wrong because put_page() can free the page, e.g. if a
concurrent madvise(..., MADV_DONTNEED) has removed it from the memory
mapping. put_page() then rightfully complained about freeing a locked
page.

Fix this by moving the unlock_page() before put_page().

This bug was found by syzkaller, which encountered the following splat:

            munmap(mapping, mapping_size);
        }
    }

Note: to see the splat, CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y and
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y are needed.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
