Ah indeed, Will mentioned something like this on IRC as well, I hadn't
gotten around to looking at it -- now have, thanks!

Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>

That said, where in handle_mm_fault() do we wait for a split to
complete? We have a pmd_trans_huge() && !pmd_trans_splitting(), so a
fault on a currently splitting pmd will fall through.

Is it the return from the fault on unlikely(pmd_trans_huge()) ?

I'm probably missing something obvious..
