[RFC PATCH 0/2] Add hstate parameter to huge_pte_offset()

[Punit Agrawal <punit.agrawal@arm.com>]

On architectures that support hugepages composed of contiguous pte as
well as block entries at the same level in the page table,
huge_pte_offset() is not able to determine the right offset to return
when it encounters a swap entry (which is used to mark poisoned as
well as migrated pages in the page table).

huge_pte_offset() needs to know the size of the hugepage at the
requested address to determine the offset to return - the current
entry or the first entry of a set of contiguous hugepages. This came
up while enabling support for memory failure handling on arm64[0].

Patch 1 adds a hstate parameter to huge_pte_offset() to provide
additional information about the target address. It also updates the
signatures (and usage) of huge_pte_offset() for architectures that
override the generic implementation. This patch has been compile
tested on ia64 and x86.

Patch 2 uses the size determined by the parameter added in Patch 1, to
return the correct page table offset.

The patchset is based on top of v4.11-rc3 and the arm64 huge page
cleanup for break-before-make[1].

Thanks,
Punit
