Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 0/6] mm/hugetlb: fixes for PMD table sharing (incl. using mmu_gather)
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 12:01:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218110129.41578-1-david@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026012608-tulip-moisten-c6f6@gregkh>
Backport of [1] for 5.15. Backport notes are in the individual patches.
I'm also including a cleanup/fix from Miaohe that makes backporting at
least a bit easier, followed by the fix from Jane.
Tested on x86-64 with the original reproducer.
