+Subject: [PATCH] mm, rmap: fix false positive VM_BUG() in page_add_file_rmap()
+
+PageTransCompound() doesn't distinguish THP from from any other type of
+compound pages. This can lead to false-positive VM_BUG_ON() in
+page_add_file_rmap() if called on compound page from a driver[1].
+
+I think we can exclude such cases by checking if the page belong to a
+mapping.
+
+The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() is downgraded to VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(). This path
+should not cause any harm to non-THP page, but good to know if we step
+on anything else.
