Subject: mm/shmem: fix race in shmem_undo_range w/THP
Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2023 17:40:31 +0900
Split folios during the second loop of shmem_undo_range. It's not
sufficient to only split folios when dealing with partial pages, since
it's possible for a THP to be faulted in after that point. Calling
truncate_inode_folio in that situation can result in throwing away data
outside of the range being targeted.
