mm/follow_page_mask: add support for hugepage directory entry
Architectures like ppc64 supports hugepage size that is not mapped to any of of the page table levels. Instead they add an alternate page table entry format called hugepage directory (hugepd). hugepd indicates that the page table entry maps to a set of hugetlb pages. Add support for this in generic follow_page_mask code. We already support this format in the generic gup code. The default implementation prints warning and returns NULL. We will add ppc64 support in later patches Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1494926612-23928-7-git-send-email-aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Mike Kravetz <kravetz@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
