Ah, yes indeed. Revised version below. While I was at it, I moved
set_huge_ptep_writable() into mm/hugetlb.c, since there's no actual
need for it to be in the .h, and abolished huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()
since there's no need for the macro at all.
Hugetlb: Copy on Write support
Implement copy-on-write support for hugetlb mappings so MAP_PRIVATE can be
supported. This helps us to safely use hugetlb pages in many more
applications. The patch makes the following changes. If needed, I also have
it broken out according to the following paragraphs.
1. Add a pair of functions to set/clear write access on huge ptes. The
writable check in make_huge_pte is moved out to the caller for use by COW
later.
2. Hugetlb copy-on-write requires special case handling in the following
situations:
- copy_hugetlb_page_range() - Copied pages must be write protected so a COW
fault will be triggered (if necessary) if those pages are written to.
- find_or_alloc_huge_page() - Only MAP_SHARED pages are added to the page
cache. MAP_PRIVATE pages still need to be locked however.
3. Provide hugetlb_cow() and calls from hugetlb_fault() and hugetlb_no_page()
which handles the COW fault by making the actual copy.
4. Remove the check in hugetlbfs_file_map() so that MAP_PRIVATE mmaps will be
allowed. Make MAP_HUGETLB exempt from the depricated VM_RESERVED mapping
check.
