I don't see the patch, but I do see a diff in shmem_add_to_page_cache()
between mmotm 4.18.0-rc3-mm1 and current mmotm 4.18.0-rc5-mm1,
relating to use of xas_create_range().

Whether or not that fixed syzbot's kernel BUG at mm/shmem.c:815!
I don't know, but I'm afraid it has not fixed linux-next breakage of
huge tmpfs: I get a similar page_to_pgoff BUG at mm/filemap.c:1466!

Please try something like
mount -o remount,huge=always /dev/shm
cp /dev/zero /dev/shm

Writing soon crashes in find_lock_entry(), looking up offset 0x201
but getting the page for offset 0x3c1 instead.

I've spent a while on it, but better turn over to you, Matthew:
my guess is that xas_create_range() does not create the layout
you expect from it.

Thanks,
Hugh
