shmem: add huge pages support
Here's basic implementation of huge pages support for shmem/tmpfs. It's all pretty streight-forward: - shmem_getpage() allcoates huge page if it can and try to inserd into radix tree with shmem_add_to_page_cache(); - shmem_add_to_page_cache() puts the page onto radix-tree if there's space for it; - shmem_undo_range() removes huge pages, if it fully within range. Partial truncate of huge pages zero out this part of THP. This have visible effect on fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) behaviour. As we don't really create hole in this case, lseek(SEEK_HOLE) may have inconsistent results depending what pages happened to be allocated. - no need to change shmem_fault: core-mm will map an compound page as huge if VMA is suitable; Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1466021202-61880-30-git-send-email-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
