Subject[PATCH 1/1] hugetlbfs: handle pages higher order than MAX_ORDER
Date
When working with hugepages, hugetlbfs assumes that those hugepages
are smaller than MAX_ORDER. Specifically it assumes that the mem_map
is contigious and uses that to optimise access to the elements of the
mem_map that represent the hugepage. Gigantic pages (such as 16GB pages
on powerpc) by definition are of greater order than MAX_ORDER (larger
than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES in size). This means that we can no longer make
use of the buddy alloctor guarentees for the contiguity of the mem_map,
which ensures that the mem_map is at least contigious for maximmally
aligned areas of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages.

This patch adds new mem_map accessors and iterator helpers which handle
any discontiguity at MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundaries. It then uses these
within copy_huge_page, clear_huge_page, and follow_hugetlb_page to allow
these to handle gigantic pages.
