commit723a80dafeupstream. pmdp_collapse_flush() should be given the start address at which the huge page is mapped, haddr: it was given addr, which at that point has been used as a local variable, incremented to the end address of the extent. Found by source inspection while chasing a hugepage locking bug, which I then could not explain by this. At first I thought this was very bad; then saw that all of the page translations that were not flushed would actually still point to the right pages afterwards, so harmless; then realized that I know nothing of how different architectures and models cache intermediate paging structures, so maybe it matters after all - particularly since the page table concerned is immediately freed. Much easier to fix than to think about.

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.
