Re: [PATCH v4 0/8] make hugetlb put_page safe for all calling contexts

[Mike Kravetz]

Hello Andrew,

It has been suggested that this series be included before Oscar Salvador's
series "Make alloc_contig_range handle Hugetlb pages".  At a logical
level, here is what I think needs to happen.  However, I am not sure how
you do tree management and I am open to anything you suggest.  Please do
not start until we get an Ack from Oscar as he will need to participate.

Remove patches for this series in your tree from Mike Kravetz:
- hugetlb: add lockdep_assert_held() calls for hugetlb_lock
- hugetlb: fix irq locking omissions
- hugetlb: make free_huge_page irq safe
- hugetlb: change free_pool_huge_page to remove_pool_huge_page
- hugetlb: call update_and_free_page without hugetlb_lock
- hugetlb: create remove_hugetlb_page() to separate functionality
  /*
   * Technically, the following patches do not need to be removed as
   * they do not interact with Oscar's changes.  However, they do
   * contain 'cover letter comments' in the commit messages which may
   * not make sense out of context.
   */
- hugetlb: add per-hstate mutex to synchronize user adjustment
- hugetlb: no need to drop hugetlb_lock to call cma_release
- mm/cma: change cma mutex to irq safe spinlock

Remove patches for the series "Make alloc_contig_range handle Hugetlb pages"
from Oscar Salvador.
- mm,page_alloc: drop unnecessary checks from pfn_range_valid_contig
- mm: make alloc_contig_range handle in-use hugetlb pages
- mm: make alloc_contig_range handle free hugetlb pages

- mmcompaction-let-isolate_migratepages_rangeblock-return-error-codes-fix
- mm,compaction: let isolate_migratepages_{range,block} return error codes
- mm,page_alloc: bail out earlier on -ENOMEM in alloc_contig_migrate_range

After removing patches above, Mike will provide updated versions of:
/* If removed above */
- mm/cma: change cma mutex to irq safe spinlock
- hugetlb: no need to drop hugetlb_lock to call cma_release
- hugetlb: add per-hstate mutex to synchronize user adjustment
/* end of If removed above */
- hugetlb: create remove_hugetlb_page() to separate functionality
- hugetlb: call update_and_free_page without hugetlb_lock
- hugetlb: change free_pool_huge_page to remove_pool_huge_page
- hugetlb: make free_huge_page irq safe
- hugetlb: add lockdep_assert_held() calls for hugetlb_lock

With these patches in place, Oscar will provide updated versions of:
/* If removed above */
- mm,page_alloc: bail out earlier on -ENOMEM in alloc_contig_migrate_range
- mm,compaction: let isolate_migratepages_{range,block} return error codes
/* end of If removed above */
- mm: make alloc_contig_range handle free hugetlb pages
- mm: make alloc_contig_range handle in-use hugetlb pages
- mm,page_alloc: drop unnecessary checks from pfn_range_valid_contig

Sorry that things ended up in their current state as it will cause more
work for you.
