This patchset cleans up hugetlbfs architecture headers and adds new
primitives as preparation for the s390 large page support. Most notably
we found that we need to add a new tlb flush for the copy-on-write of
a large page (patch #2). We think that this is a bug, but obviously one
that hasn't shown up so far on any of the other large page architectures.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] hugetlbfs: architecture header cleanup

From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com>

This patch moves all architecture functions for hugetlb to architecture
header files (include/asm-foo/hugetlb.h). It also removes (!)
ARCH_HAS_HUGEPAGE_ONLY_RANGE, ARCH_HAS_HUGETLB_FREE_PGD_RANGE,
ARCH_HAS_PREPARE_HUGEPAGE_RANGE, ARCH_HAS_SETCLEAR_HUGE_PTE and
ARCH_HAS_HUGETLB_PREFAULT_HOOK.

Cross-Compile tests on the affected architectures (and one unaffected)
worked fine, but I had no cross-compiler for sh.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] hugetlbfs: add missing TLB flush to hugetlb_cow()

From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com>

A cow break on a hugetlbfs page with page_count > 1 will set a new pte
with set_huge_pte_at(), w/o any tlb flush operation. The old pte will
remain in the tlb and subsequent write access to the page will result
in a page fault loop, for as long as it may take until the tlb is
flushed from somewhere else.
This patch introduces an architecture-specific huge_ptep_clear_flush()
function, which is called before the the set_huge_pte_at() in
hugetlb_cow().

NOTE: This is just a nop on all architectures for now, there will be an
s390 implementation with our large page patch later. Other architectures
should define their own huge_ptep_clear_flush() if needed.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] hugetlbfs: common code update for s390

From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com>

Huge ptes have a special type on s390 and cannot be handled with the
standard pte functions in certain cases. This patch adds some new
architecture-specific definitions and functions to hugetlb common code,
as a prerequisite for the s390 large page support. They won't affect
other architectures.

The way I read this, you took some arch-independent bits, like
prepare_hugepage_range(), and copied them to several architectures.  How
is this a cleanup?  Can they really not share common code?

This question has been raised before. See: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/28/267 .

This text explains what the patch does but not why it does it.  Always provide
both, please.  That way people will stop asking why this:

urgh.  I wouldn't say the result of this "cleanup" is very clean. 
Basically all the macros there should be zapped and turned into inlines. 
That will happen to fix the bug in ia64's is_hugepage_only_range(), which
presently references its arg once or twice, and will do bad things if
called with an expression-with-side-effects.

This is bad too, because it can lead to unused-var warnings if compiled
with suitable config combinations.

So basically the existing hugetlb arch support code needs a big de-macro
crapectomy.  But your patch has gone and massively duplicated the existing
crap, making that decrapectomy larger and harder.

Again, the problem here is that the macro doesn't have typechecking so I
can merrily add

	huge_ptep_clear_flush(some_u64, some_struct_ntfs_inode, some_undefined_variable)

and the compiler will just swallow it, depending on config options.  An
inline solves this.

And the macro can lead to unused-variable warnings because the macro
doesn't count as a reference of its args.  An inline solves this too.

There is almost never any need to put any code in macros ever.  Please make
it a last resort, not a first one.

-mm, I suppose.

But all the patcehs had the same title and I'd prefer to not have to
invent your patch titles for you.

Hello,

this patchset cleans up hugetlbfs architecture headers and adds new
primitives as preparation for the s390 large page support. Most notably
we found that we need to add a new tlb flush for the copy-on-write of
a large page (patch #2). We think that this is a bug, but obviously one
that hasn't shown up so far on any of the other large page architectures.

As there were no objections so far, which would be the right tree for
this to get it upstream?
