Huge tmpfs stress testing has occasionally hit shmem_undo_range()'s VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_to_pgoff(page) != index, page). Move the setting of mapping and index up before the page_ref_unfreeze() in __split_huge_page_tail() to fix this: so that a page cache lookup cannot get a reference while the tail's mapping and index are unstable. In fact, might as well move them up before the smp_wmb(): I don't see an actual need for that, but if I'm missing something, this way round is safer than the other, and no less efficient. You might argue that VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_to_pgoff(page) != index, page) is misplaced, and should be left until after the trylock_page(); but left as is has not crashed since, and gives more stringent assurance.
