[PATCHv2,12/41] thp: handle write-protection faults for file THP

Commit Message

Kirill A . Shutemov Aug. 12, 2016, 6:37 p.m. UTC

For filesystems that wants to be write-notified (has mkwrite), we will
encount write-protection faults for huge PMDs in shared mappings.

The easiest way to handle them is to clear the PMD and let it refault as
wriable.
