The routine hpage_nr_pages() was incorrectly used to calculate the number
of base pages in a hugetlb page. hpage_nr_pages is designed to be called
for THP pages and will return HPAGE_PMD_NR for hugetlb pages of any size.
Due to the context in which hpage_nr_pages was called, it is unlikely to
produce a user visible error. The routine with the incorrect call is only
exercised in the case of hugetlb memory error or migration. In addition,
this would need to be on an architecture which supports huge page sizes
less than PMD_SIZE. And, the vma containing the huge page would also need
to smaller than PMD_SIZE.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
