Dan Williams 220ced1676 mm: fix get_user_pages() vs device-dax pud mappings
A new unit test for the device-dax 1GB enabling currently fails with
this warning before hanging the test thread:

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 21 at lib/percpu-refcount.c:155 percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu+0x1e3/0x1f0

The get_user_pages() path needs to arrange for references to be taken
against the dev_pagemap instance backing the pud mapping.  Refactor the
existing __gup_device_huge_pmd() to also account for the pud case.

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.
