Andrea Arcangeli a425d3584e userfaultfd: shmem: avoid a lockup resulting from corrupted page->flags
Use the non atomic version of __SetPageUptodate while the page is still
private and not visible to lookup operations.  Using the non atomic
version after the page is already visible to lookups is unsafe as there
would be concurrent lock_page operation modifying the page->flags while
it runs.

This solves a lockup in find_lock_entry with the userfaultfd_shmem
selftest.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
