Patch series "Fix read-only THP for non-tmpfs filesystems". As described more verbosely in the [3/3] changelog, we can inadvertently put an order-0 page in the page cache which occupies 512 consecutive entries. Users are running into this if they enable the READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS config option; see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206569 and Qian Cai has also reported it here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200616013309.GB815@lca.pw/ This is a rather intrusive way of fixing the problem, but has the advantage that I've actually been testing it with the THP patches, which means that it sees far more use than it does upstream -- indeed, Song has been entirely unable to reproduce it. It also has the advantage that it removes a few patches from my gargantuan backlog of THP patches. This patch (of 3): This function returns the order of the entry at the index. We need this because there isn't space in the shadow entry to encode its order.

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.
