There is a race between THP unmapping and truncation, when truncate sees pmd_none() and skips the entry, after munmap's zap_huge_pmd() cleared it, but before its page_remove_rmap() gets to decrement compound_mapcount: generating false "BUG: Bad page cache" reports that the page is still mapped when deleted. This commit fixes that, but not in the way I hoped. The first attempt used try_to_unmap(page, TTU_SYNC|TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK) instead of unmap_mapping_range() in truncate_cleanup_page(): it has often been an annoyance that we usually call unmap_mapping_range() with no pages locked, but there apply it to a single locked page. try_to_unmap() looks more suitable for a single locked page. However, try_to_unmap_one() contains a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!pvmw.pte,page): it is used to insert THP migration entries, but not used to unmap THPs. Copy zap_huge_pmd() and add THP handling now? Perhaps, but their TLB needs are different, I'm too ignorant of the DAX ...
