** Description changed:

  In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with
  the mmap_sem hold in read mode. In those cases the huge page faults can
  allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a
  false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd
  materializing as trans huge. A privileged user in the KVM guest can use
  this flaw to crash the host. An unprivileged local user could use this
  flaw to crash the system.
