grab_mapping_entry() has a bug in handling of ENOMEM condition. Suppose we have a PMD entry at index i which we are downgrading to a PTE entry. grab_mapping_entry() will set pmd_downgrade to true, lock the entry, clear the entry in xarray, and decrement mapping->nrpages. The it will call: entry = dax_make_entry(pfn_to_pfn_t(0), flags); dax_lock_entry(xas, entry); which inserts new PTE entry into xarray. However this may fail allocating the new node. We handle this by: if (xas_nomem(xas, mapping_gfp_mask(mapping) & ~__GFP_HIGHMEM)) goto retry; however pmd_downgrade stays set to true even though 'entry' returned from get_unlocked_entry() will be NULL now. And we will go again through the downgrade branch. This is mostly harmless except that mapping->nrpages is decremented again and we temporarily have an invalid entry stored in xarray. Fix the problem by setting pmd_downgrade to false each time we lookup the entry we work with so that it matches the entry we found.

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.
