The counting 3, 4, 5 and 6 are in BE format I believe, I was
initially trying to see that from right to left as we normally
do in the kernel and was getting confused. So basically these
bits (which are only applicable for 64K mapping IIUC) are going
to be freed up from the PTE format.

#define _RPAGE_RSV1 0x1000000000000000UL
#define _RPAGE_RSV2 0x0800000000000000UL
#define _RPAGE_RSV3 0x0400000000000000UL
#define _RPAGE_RSV4 0x0200000000000000UL

As you have mentioned before this feature is available for 64K
page size only and not for 4K mappings. So I assume we support
both the combinations.

* 64K mapping on 64K
* 64K mapping on 4K

These are the current users of the above bits

#define H_PAGE_BUSY _RPAGE_RSV1 /* software: PTE & hash are busy */
#define H_PAGE_F_SECOND _RPAGE_RSV2 /* HPTE is in 2ndary HPTEG */
#define H_PAGE_F_GIX (_RPAGE_RSV3 | _RPAGE_RSV4 | _RPAGE_RPN44)
#define H_PAGE_HASHPTE _RPAGE_RPN43 /* PTE has associated HPTE */

and what is in there on bit 9 now ? This ?

#define _RPAGE_SW2 0x00400

which is used as

#define _PAGE_SPECIAL _RPAGE_SW2 /* software: special page */

which will not be required any more ?

Release immediately means we attempt again for a new hash slot ?

So we have to see the slot number in the second half for each PTE to
figure out if it has got a valid slot in the hash page table.

Okay.

Why you say that ? I thought every slot number has the same probability
of hit from the hash function.

So we moved the common 64K definitions here.

Why we are passing the first 3 arguments of the function if we never
use it inside. Is the caller expected to take care of it ?

Its the same thing, changes nothing.

H_PAGE_BUSY seems to be differently defined here.

H_PAGE_COMBO_VALID is not defined alternately ?

Slot information has moved to the second half, hence _PAGE_HPTEFLAGS
need not carry that.

New method to insert the slot information in the second half.

I wonder what purpose set_hidx_slot() defined previously, served.

I am wondering why there is a 'g' before the slot in all these
functions.

Its already too much of changes in a single patch. Being a single
logical change it needs to be inside a single change but then we
need much more description in the commit message for some one to
understand what all changed and how.
