mm/mmap: teach generic_get_unmapped_area{_topdown} to handle hugetlb …
…mappings Patch series "Unify hugetlb into arch_get_unmapped_area functions", v4. This is an 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_get_unmapped_area, that gets called for hugetlb mappings, runs some sanity checks prior to calling mm_get_unmapped_area_vmflags(), 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 hugetlb selftests were ran succesfully on: This patch (of 9): We want to stop special casing hugetlb mappings and make them go through generic channels, so teach generic_get_unmapped_area{_topdown} to handle those. The main difference is that we set info.align_mask for huge mappings.
