commit 5647f61ad9171e8f025558ed6dc5702c56a33ba3 upstream. Commit8211dad627("s390: add pte_free_defer() for pgtables sharing page") added a warning to pte_free_defer(), on our request. It was meant to warn if this would ever be reached for KVM guest mappings, because the page table would be freed w/o a gmap_unlink(). THP mappings are not allowed for KVM guests on s390, so this should never happen. However, it is possible that the warning is triggered in a valid case as false-positive. s390_enable_sie() takes the mmap_lock, marks all VMAs as VM_NOHUGEPAGE and splits possibly existing THP guest mappings. mm->context.has_pgste is set to 1 before that, to prevent races with the mm_has_pgste() check in MADV_HUGEPAGE. khugepaged drops the mmap_lock for file mappings and might run in parallel, before a vma is marked VM_NOHUGEPAGE, but after mm->context.has_pgste was set to 1. If it finds file mappings to collapse, it will eventually call pte_free_defer(). This will trigger the warning, but it is a valid case because gmap is not yet set up, and the THP mappings will be split again. Therefore, remove the warning and the comment.

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.
