[PATCH 0/2] hugetlb: Demand faulting

[Adam Litke]

Ok.  Hugh and I have rolled these around the last few days and what we
have now should integrate properly and solve the outstanding truncation
issues.  We should be ready to re-insert these patches into -mm.

The old patch [1/3] remove get_user_pages_optimization is no longer
necessary.  We now have [1/2] "the fault handler" and [2/2] "overcommit
accounting check"

[PATCH 1/2] hugetlb: demand fault handler

[Adam Litke]

Version 5 (Tue, 18 Oct 2005)
	Large update from Hugh Dickins to merge with his page_table_lock
	  scalability patches
	Use lock_page() to guard against truncation races
	Fault handler hierarchy changed to more closely resemble do_no_page()
Version 4 (Mon, 03 Oct 2005)
        Make find_get_huge_page bale properly when add_to_page_cache fails
          due to OOM conditions
Version 3 (Thu, 08 Sep 2005)
        Organized logic in hugetlb_pte_fault() by breaking out
          find_get_page/alloc_huge_page logic into separate function
        Removed a few more paranoid checks  ( Thanks       )
        Fixed tlb flushing in a race case   ( Yanmin Zhang )

Version 2 (Wed, 17 Aug 2005)
        Removed spurious WARN_ON()
    Patches added earlier in the series (now in mainline):
        Check for p?d_none() in arch/i386/mm/hugetlbpage.c:huge_pte_offset()
        Move i386 stale pte check into huge_pte_alloc()

Initial Post (Fri, 05 Aug 2005)

Below is a patch to implement demand faulting for huge pages.  The main
motivation for changing from prefaulting to demand faulting is so that
huge page memory areas can be allocated according to NUMA policy.

Thanks to consolidated hugetlb code, switching the behavior requires changing
only one fault handler.  The bulk of the patch just moves the logic from
hugelb_prefault() to hugetlb_pte_fault() and find_get_huge_page().

[PATCH 2/2] hugetlb: overcommit accounting check

[Adam Litke]

Version 2 (Tue, 18 Oct 2005)
	Added comment to huge_pages_needed
	Removed erroneous shared memory exemption logic
Initial Post (Thu, 18 Aug 2005)

Basic overcommit checking for hugetlb_file_map() based on an implementation
used with demand faulting in SLES9.

Since demand faulting can't guarantee the availability of pages at mmap time,
this patch implements a basic sanity check to ensure that the number of huge
pages required to satisfy the mmap are currently available.  Despite the
obvious race, I think it is a good start on doing proper accounting.  I'd like
to work towards an accounting system that mimics the semantics of normal pages
(especially for the MAP_PRIVATE/COW case).  That work is underway and builds on
what this patch starts.

Huge page shared memory segments are simpler and still maintain their commit on
shmget semantics.
