"libnvdimm/dax 4.19-rc8
* Fix a livelock in dax_layout_busy_page() present since v4.18. The
lockup triggers when truncating an actively mapped huge page out of
a mapping pinned for direct-I/O.
* Fix mprotect() clobbers of _PAGE_DEVMAP. Broken since v4.5
mprotect() clears this flag that is needed to communicate the
liveness of device pages to the get_user_pages() path."

============
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.
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.
