Recent conversations showed that there was a misunderstanding about why we were locking the folio prior to call in hugetlb_wp(). In fact, as soon as we have the folio mapped into the pagetables, we no longer need to hold it locked, because we know that no concurrent truncation could have happened. There is only one case where the folio needs to be locked, and that is when we are handling an anonymous folio, because hugetlb_wp() will check whether it can re-use it exclusively for the process that is faulting it in. So, pass the folio locked to hugetlb_wp() when that is the case.

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 reStructuredText 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.
