Zi Yan 18576d128e mm/hugetlb: use nth_page() in place of direct struct page manipulation 
commit 426056efe8 upstream.

When dealing with hugetlb pages, manipulating struct page pointers
directly can get to wrong struct page, since struct page is not guaranteed
to be contiguous on SPARSEMEM without VMEMMAP.  Use nth_page() to handle
it properly.

A wrong or non-existing page might be tried to be grabbed, either
leading to a non freeable page or kernel memory access errors.  No bug
is reported.  It comes from code inspection.

README 

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.
