Yes, please add that mention.

And personally, I'd much prefer this and the Doc commit,
the non-selftest commits, to be moved up before the selftests.

The selftest situation is confusing at present, since Peter's series
got dropped as [to-be-updated] from mmotm, so we're waiting for those
updates to be added back to mmotm before this series can go in.

(But akpm will be busy with merge window stuff at present:
now is not the time to be adding or re-adding a series.)

Peter raised a good point below, so no Ack from me yet.

I think it's best to move that info->locked block down to above the
new SetPageDirty(), where we know we have succeeded, because...

Good catch, yes.

Which is why I suggest above to move the info->locked block down:
then you can forget about using shmem_uncharge(), and just use
shmem_inode_unacct_blocks() directly in all cases that need it here.

(But I notice the commit message refers to shmem_uncharge(), so that
will need adjusting. shmem_uncharge() is more of a hack than a proper
interface, introduced to manage certain THP split/collapse cases.)
