powerpc/mm: Differentiate between hugetlb and THP during page walk
We need to properly identify whether a hugepage is an explicit or
a transparent hugepage in follow_huge_addr(). We used to depend
on hugepage shift argument to do that. But in some case that can
result in wrong results. For ex:
On finding a transparent hugepage we set hugepage shift to PMD_SHIFT.
But we can end up clearing the thp pte, via pmdp_huge_get_and_clear.
We do prevent reusing the pfn page via the usage of
kick_all_cpus_sync(). But that happens after we updated the pte to 0.
Hence in follow_huge_addr() we can find hugepage shift set, but transparent
huge page check fail for a thp pte.
NOTE: We fixed a variant of this race against thp split in commit
691e95fd7396905a38d98919e9c150dbc3ea21a3
("powerpc/mm/thp: Make page table walk safe against thp split/collapse")
Without this patch, we may hit the BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET) in
follow_page_mask occasionally.
In the long term, we may want to switch ppc64 64k page size config to
enable CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETLB
