Ryan Roberts 2fba13371f mm/vmalloc: Gracefully unmap huge ptes 
Commit f7ee1f13d6 ("mm/vmalloc: enable mapping of huge pages at pte
level in vmap") added its support by reusing the set_huge_pte_at() API,
which is otherwise only used for user mappings. But when unmapping those
huge ptes, it continued to call ptep_get_and_clear(), which is a
layering violation. To date, the only arch to implement this support is
powerpc and it all happens to work ok for it.

But arm64's implementation of ptep_get_and_clear() can not be safely
used to clear a previous set_huge_pte_at(). So let's introduce a new
arch opt-in function, arch_vmap_pte_range_unmap_size(), which can
provide the size of a (present) pte. Then we can call
huge_ptep_get_and_clear() to tear it down properly.

Note that if vunmap_range() is called with a range that starts in the
middle of a huge pte-mapped page, we must unmap the entire huge page so
the behaviour is consistent with pmd and pud block mappings. In this
case emit a warning just like we do for pmd/pud mappings.

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 reStructuredText 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.
