The condition checking for THP straddling end of invalidated range is wrong - it checks 'index' against 'end' but 'index' has been already advanced to point to the end of THP and thus the condition can never be true. As a result THP straddling 'end' has been fully invalidated. Given the nature of invalidate_mapping_pages(), this could be only performance issue. In fact, we are lucky the condition is wrong because if it was ever true, we'd leave locked page behind. Fix the condition checking for THP straddling 'end' and also properly unlock the page. Also update the comment before the condition to explain why we decide not to invalidate the page as it was not clear to me and I had to ask Kirill.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
