[PATCH v3 00/11] arm64: Enable contiguous pte hugepage support

[Punit Agrawal]

Hi,

This patchset addresses all the known issues with contiguous hugetlb
pages. Support for contiguous hugepages is useful on systems where the
PMD hugepage size is too large (512MB hugepage when using 64k page
granule) and contiguous hugepages can be used to provide reasonable
hugepage sizes to the user.

The patches can be split as 

* Patches 1-5, 11 cleanups and improvements

* Patch 6 addresses the break-before-make requirement of the
  architecture for contiguous hugepages. These patches depend on
  enabling memory failure handling on arm64[2].

* Patch 7-9 add support for handling swap entries for contiguous pte
  hugepages. These patches depend on fixes to core code required to
  support contiguous hugepages[3].

* Patch 10 enables contiguous hugepage support for arm64

The patches are based on v4.12-rc2. Previous postings can be found at
[0], [1].

All feedback welcome.

Thanks,
Punit
