PATCH v3 1/2 mm: move vma_is_anonymous check within pmd_move_must_withdraw

Architectures like ppc64 want to use page table deposit/withraw even with huge pmd dax entries. Allow arch to override the vma_is_anonymous check by moving that to pmd_move_must_withdraw function

PATCH v3 2/2 mm: THP page cache support for ppc64

Add arch specific callback in the generic THP page cache code that will deposit and withdarw preallocated page table. Archs like ppc64 use this preallocated table to store the hash pte slot information.

Testing:
kernel build of the patch series on tmpfs mounted with option huge=always

Architectures like ppc64 want to use page table deposit/withraw even with huge pmd dax entries. Allow arch to override the vma_is_anonymous check by moving that to pmd_move_must_withdraw function

I think the changelog can be reworded a bit

Independent of whether the vma is for anonymous memory, some arches like ppc64 would like to override pmd_move_must_withdraw(). One option is to encapsulate the vma_is_anonymous() check for general architectures inside pmd_move_must_withdraw() so that is always called and architectures that need unconditional overriding can override this function. ppc64 needs to override the function when the MMU is configured to use hash PTE's.

What do you think?

Balbir Singh.
