The patch titled
     Subject: mm/khugepaged: fix crashes due to misaccounted holes
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-khugepaged-fix-crashes-due-to-misaccounted-holes.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm/khugepaged: fix crashes due to misaccounted holes

Huge tmpfs testing on a shortish file mapped into a pmd-rounded extent hit
shmem_evict_inode()'s WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks) followed by clear_inode()'s
BUG_ON(inode->i_data.nrpages) when the file was later closed and unlinked.

khugepaged's collapse_shmem() was forgetting to update mapping->nrpages on
the rollback path, after it had added but then needs to undo some holes.

There is indeed an irritating asymmetry between shmem_charge(), whose
callers want it to increment nrpages after successfully accounting blocks,
and shmem_uncharge(), when __delete_from_page_cache() already decremented
nrpages itself: oh well, just add a comment on that to them both.

And shmem_recalc_inode() is supposed to be called when the accounting is
expected to be in balance (so it can deduce from imbalance that reclaim
discarded some pages): so change shmem_charge() to update nrpages earlier
(though it's rare for the difference to matter at all).
