Patch series "Fix PageDoubleMap". This is a purely theoretical problem for now as none of the filesystems which use PG_private_2 (ie PG_fscache) are being converted at this time, but it's confusing to leave it like this. This patch (of 2): PG_private_2 is defined as being PF_ANY (applicable to tail pages as well as regular & head pages). That means that the first tail page of a double-map page will appear to have Private2 set. Use the Workingset bit instead which is defined as PF_HEAD so any attempt to access the Workingset bit on a tail page will redirect to the head page's Workingset bit.

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.
