With support for split pmd lock, we use pmd page pmd_huge_pte pointer
to store the deposited page table. In those config when we move page
tables we need to make sure we move the deposited page table to the
correct pmd page. Otherwise this can result in crash when we withdraw
of deposited page table because we can find the pmd_huge_pte NULL.
eg:
__split_huge_pmd+0x1070/0x1940
__split_huge_pmd+0xe34/0x1940 (unreliable)
vma_adjust_trans_huge+0x110/0x1c0
__vma_adjust+0x2b4/0x9b0
__split_vma+0x1b8/0x280
__do_munmap+0x13c/0x550
sys_mremap+0x220/0x7e0
system_call+0x5c/0x70

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.
