[PATCH v2 0/2] mm/hugetlb: fix write-fault handling for shared mappings

[David Hildenbrand]

I observed that hugetlb does not support/expect write-faults in shared
mappings that would have to map the R/O-mapped page writable -- and I
found two case where we could currently get such faults and would
erroneously map an anon page into a shared mapping.

Reproducers part of the patches.

I propose to backport both fixes to stable trees. The first fix needs
a small adjustment.

v1 -> v2:
- "mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb not supporting softdirty tracking"
-> Restrict to softdirty tracking
- "mm/hugetlb: support write-faults in shared mappings"
-> Add reproducer and adjust description
-> Move VM_WRITE sanity check out from MAYSHARE handling

  mm/hugetlb: support write-faults in shared mappings
