[PATCH] mm: hugetlb truncation fixes
hugetlbfs allows truncation of its files (should it?), but hugetlb.c often forgets that: crashes and misaccounting ensue. copy_hugetlb_page_range better grab the src page_table_lock since we don't want to guess what happens if concurrently truncated. unmap_hugepage_range rss accounting must not assume the full range was mapped. follow_hugetlb_page must guard with page_table_lock and be prepared to exit early. Restyle copy_hugetlb_page_range with a for loop like the others there.
