Users reported a v5.3 performance regression and inability to establish huge page mappings. A revised version of the ndctl "dax.sh" huge page unit test identifies commit23c84eb783"dax: Fix missed wakeup with PMD faults" as the source. Update get_unlocked_entry() to check for NULL entries before checking the entry order, otherwise NULL is misinterpreted as a present pte conflict. The 'order' check needs to happen before the locked check as an unlocked entry at the wrong order must fallback to lookup the correct order.

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.
