[PATCH] do_munmap() hugetlb fix
The hugetlb_page test in do_munmap is too permissive. It checks start vma, but forgets that end vma might be different and huge though start is not: so hits unmap_hugepage_range BUG if misaligned end was given. And it's too restrictive: munmap has always succeeded on unmapped areas within its range, why should it behave differently near a hugepage vma? And the additional checks in is_aligned_hugepage_range are irrelevant here, when the hugepage vma already exists. But the function is still required (on some arches), as the default for prepare_hugepage_range - leave renaming cleanup to another occasion.
