"err" needs to be left set to -EFAULT if split_huge_page succeeds. Otherwise if "err" gets clobbered with zero and write_protect_page fails, try_to_merge_one_page() will succeed instead of returning -EFAULT and then try_to_merge_with_ksm_page() will continue thinking kpage is a PageKsm when in fact it's still an anonymous page. Eventually it'll crash in page_add_anon_rmap. This has been reproduced on Fedora25 kernel but I can reproduce with upstream too. The bug was introduced in commit |

README
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.
