The get_user_pages_fast() wrapper will hide this in the common case. The other user of the __ variant is kvm, which is mentioned as the reason for removal of emulated hugepages. The call of page_cache_get_speculative() looks also broken in this scenario on debug builds because of VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTail(page), page). With CONFIG_TINY_RCU enabled, there's plain atomic_inc(&page->_count) which also probably shouldn't happen for a tail page...It boils down to __get_user_pages_fast being broken for emulated large pages, doesn't it? My preferred fix would be to get __get_user_page_fast to work in this case.I agree, but didn't know enough of the architecture to attempt such fix :) Thanks!For 3.12 a patch would look like this (needs more testing though):FWIW it works for me in the particular LTP test, but as you said, it needs more testing and breaking stable would suck.
I'm trying to break the patch on 3.12 with trinity, let's see...Tried also to review it, although it's unlikely I'll catch some s390x-specific gotchas. For example, can't say what the effect of _SEGMENT_ENTRY_CO removal will be - before, the bit was set for non-emulated hugepages, and now the same bit is set for emulated ones? Or if pmd_bad() was also broken before, and now isn't? But otherwise the change seems OK, besides some nitpick below.

The "pmd" variable isn't changed anywhere in this loop after the initial assignment, so the extra "pmd_orig" variable isn't needed.
