I made a mistake during converting hugetlb code to 5-level paging: in huge_pte_alloc() we have to use p4d_alloc(), not p4d_offset(). Otherwise it leads to crash -- NULL-pointer dereference in pud_alloc() if p4d table is not yet allocated. It only can happen in 5-level paging mode. In 4-level paging mode p4d_offset() always returns pgd, so we are fine.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
