[RFC PATCH 0/8] Unify hugetlb into arch_get_unmapped_area functions

[Oscar Salvador]

Hi all,

this is a first attempt to get rid of a fair amount of duplicated code
wrt. hugetlb and *get_unmapped_area* functions.

HugeTLB registers a .get_unmapped_area function which gets called from
__get_unmapped_area().
hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() is defined by a bunch of architectures and
it also has a generic definition for those that do not define it.
Short-long story is that there is a ton of duplicated code between
specific hugetlb *_get_unmapped_area_* functions and mm-core functions,
so we can do better by teaching arch_get_unmapped_area* functions how
to deal with hugetlb mappings.

Note that not a lot of things need to be taught though.
hugetlb_mmap_check_and_align(), that gets called for hugetlb mappings
prior to call mm_get_unmapped_area_vmflags(), runs some sanity checks
and aligns the addr to huge_page_size(), so we do not need to that
down the road in the respective {generic,arch}_get_unmapped_area*
functions.

More information can be found in the respective patches.

LTP mmapstress and hugemmap testcases were ran on arm64, powerpc64le and
x86_64 without raising any issue.

Oscar Salvador (8):
  mm/mmap: Teach generic_get_unmapped_area{_topdown} to handle hugetlb
    mappings
  arch/s390: Teach arch_get_unmapped_area{_topdown} to handle hugetlb
    mappings
  arch/x86: Teach arch_get_unmapped_area_vmflags to handle hugetlb
    mappings
  arch/sparc: Teach arch_get_unmapped_area{_topdown} to handle hugetlb
    mappings
  arch/powerpc: Teach book3s64 arch_get_unmapped_area{_topdown} to
    handle hugetlb mappings
  mm: Make hugetlb mappings go through mm_get_unmapped_area_vmflags
  mm: Drop hugetlb_get_unmapped_area{_*} functions
  mm: Consolidate common checks in hugetlb_mmap_check_and_align
