Wangyong reports: after enabling tmpfs filesystem to support transparent hugepage with the following command: echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled the docker program tries to add F_SEAL_WRITE through the following command, but it fails unexpectedly with errno EBUSY: fcntl(5, F_ADD_SEALS, F_SEAL_WRITE) = -1. That is because memfd_tag_pins() and memfd_wait_for_pins() were never updated for shmem huge pages: checking page_mapcount() against page_count() is hopeless on THP subpages - they need to check total_mapcount() against page_count() on THP heads only. Make memfd_tag_pins() (compared > 1) as strict as memfd_wait_for_pins() (compared != 1): either can be justified, but given the non-atomic total_mapcount() calculation, it is better now to be strict. Bear in mind that total_mapcount() itself scans all of the THP subpages, when choosing to take an XA_CHECK_SCHED latency break. Also fix the unlikely xa_is_value() case in memfd_wait_for_pins(): if a page has been swapped out since memfd_tag_pins(), then its refcount must have fallen, and so it can safely be untagged.

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.
