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.

kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:2373!
move_hugetlb_page_tables+0x4e4/0x5b0 (link register)

the kernel can't use huge_pte_offset before it set the pte entry because
a page table lookup check for huge PTE bit in the page table to
differentiate between a huge pte entry and a pointer to pte page. A
huge_pte_alloc won't mark the page table entry huge and hence kernel
should not use huge_pte_offset after a huge_pte_alloc.
