Mike Kravetz 90e7e7f5ef mm: enable MADV_DONTNEED for hugetlb mappings 
Patch series "Add hugetlb MADV_DONTNEED support", v3.

Userfaultfd selftests for hugetlb does not perform UFFD_EVENT_REMAP
testing.  However, mremap support was recently added in commit
550a7d60bd ("mm, hugepages: add mremap() support for hugepage backed
vma").  While attempting to enable mremap support in the test, it was
discovered that the mremap test indirectly depends on MADV_DONTNEED.

madvise does not allow MADV_DONTNEED for hugetlb mappings.  However, that
is primarily due to the check in can_madv_lru_vma().  By simply removing
the check and adding huge page alignment, MADV_DONTNEED can be made to
work for hugetlb mappings.

Do note that there is no compelling use case for adding this support.
This was discussed in the RFC [1].  However, adding support makes sense as
it is fairly trivial and brings hugetlb functionality more in line with
'normal' memory.

After enabling support, add selftest for MADV_DONTNEED as well as
MADV_REMOVE.  Then update userfaultfd selftest.

If new functionality is accepted, then madvise man page will be updated to
indicate hugetlb is supported.  It will also be updated to clarify what
happens to the passed length argument.

This patch (of 3):

MADV_DONTNEED is currently disabled for hugetlb mappings.  This certainly
makes sense in shared file mappings as the pagecache maintains a reference
to the page and it will never be freed.  However, it could be useful to
unmap and free pages in private mappings.  In addition, userfaultfd minor
fault users may be able to simplify code by using MADV_DONTNEED.

The primary thing preventing MADV_DONTNEED from working on hugetlb
mappings is a check in can_madv_lru_vma().  To allow support for hugetlb
mappings create and use a new routine madvise_dontneed_free_valid_vma()
that allows hugetlb mappings in this specific case.

For normal mappings, madvise requires the start address be PAGE aligned
and rounds up length to the next multiple of PAGE_SIZE.  Do similarly for
hugetlb mappings: require start address be huge page size aligned and
round up length to the next multiple of huge page size.  Use the new
madvise_dontneed_free_valid_vma routine to check alignment and round up
length/end.  zap_page_range requires this alignment for hugetlb vmas
otherwise we will hit BUGs.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
