This reverts c86aa7bbfd5568ba8a82d3635d8f7b8a8e06fe54 The reverted commit caused ABBA deadlocks when file migration raced with file eviction for specific hugetlbfs files. This was discovered with a modified version of the LTP move_pages12 test. The purpose of the reverted patch was to close a long existing race between hugetlbfs file truncation and page faults. After more analysis of the patch and impacted code, it was determined that i_mmap_rwsem can not be used for all required synchronization. Therefore, revert this patch while working an another approach to the underlying issue.

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.
