try_to_unmap_cluster() does:
for (pte = pte_offset_map(pmd, address);
address < end; pte++, address += PAGE_SIZE) {
...
}
pte_unmap(pte);
It may take a little staring to notice, but pte can actually fall off the
end of the pte page in this iteration, which makes life difficult for
kmap_atomic() and the users not expecting it to BUG(). Of course, we're
somewhat lucky in that arithmetic elsewhere in the function guarantees that
at least one iteration is made, lest this force larger rearrangements to be
made. This issue and patch also apply to non-mm mainline and with trivial
adjustments, at least two related kernels.
Discovered during internal testing at Oracle.

This patch fixes a bug introduced by the "mm counter operations through
macros" patch, which replaced a decrement operation in with an increment
macro in try_to_unmap_one().

mm/rmap.c:page_referenced_one() and mm/rmap.c:try_to_unmap_one() contain
identical code that
- takes mm->page_table_lock;
- drills through page tables;
- checks that correct pte is reached.
Coalesce this into page_check_address()

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
