Changing pfn on a user page table mapped entry, without first going through break-before-make (BBM) procedure is unsafe. This just updates set_pte_at() to intercept such changes, via an updated pgattr_change_is_safe(). This new check happens via __check_racy_pte_update(), which has now been renamed as __check_safe_pte_update().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
