We must flush the TLB before releasing i_mmap_rwsem to avoid the
potential reuse of an unshared PMDs page. This is not true in the case
of move_hugetlb_page_tables(). The last reference on the page table can
therefore be dropped before the TLB flush took place.
Prevent it by reordering the operations and flushing the TLB before
releasing i_mmap_rwsem.

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.
