[ Upstream commit 33ae8f801ad8bec48e886d368739feb2816478f2 ] If multiple threads are accessing the same huge page at the same time, hugetlb_cow will be called if one thread write the COW huge page. And function huge_ptep_clear_flush is called to notify other threads to clear the huge pte tlb entry. The other threads clear the huge pte tlb entry and reload it from page table, the reload huge pte entry may be old. This patch fixes this issue on mips platform, and it clears huge pte entry before notifying other threads to flush current huge page entry, it is similar with other architectures.

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.
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.
