Huge tmpfs testing, on 32-bit kernel with lockdep enabled, showed that
__split_huge_page() was using i_size_read() while holding the irq-safe
lru_lock and page tree lock, but the 32-bit i_size_read() uses an
irq-unsafe seqlock which should not be nested inside them.
Instead, read the i_size earlier in split_huge_page_to_list(), and pass
the end offset down to __split_huge_page(): all while holding head page
lock, which is enough to prevent truncation of that extent before the
page tree lock has been taken.

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.
