Patch series "Fixes for hugetlb mapcount at most 1 for shared PMDs".
This issue of mapcount in hugetlb pages referenced by shared PMDs was
discussed in [1]. The following two patches address user visible behavior
caused by this issue.

This patch (of 2):
A hugetlb page will have a mapcount of 1 if mapped by multiple processes
via a shared PMD. This is because only the first process increases the
map count, and subsequent processes just add the shared PMD page to their
page table.
page_mapcount is being used to decide if a hugetlb page is shared or
private in /proc/PID/smaps. Pages referenced via a shared PMD were
incorrectly being counted as private.
To fix, check for a shared PMD if mapcount is 1. If a shared PMD is found
count the hugetlb page as shared. A new helper to check for a shared PMD
is added.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: simplification, per David]
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: hugetlb.h: include page_ref.h for page_count()]

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.
