[RFC v4 PATCH 2/9] mm/hugetlb: expose hugetlb fault mutex for use by fallocate

[Mike Kravetz]

hugetlb page faults are currently synchronized by the table of
mutexes (htlb_fault_mutex_table).  fallocate code will need to
synchronize with the page fault code when it allocates or
deletes pages.  Expose interfaces so that fallocate operations
can be synchronized with page faults.
