[PATCH] mm: tlb_is_full_mm was obscure

tlb_is_full_mm? What does that mean? The TLB is full? No, it means that the
mm's last user has gone and the whole mm is being torn down. And it's an
inline function because sparc64 uses a different (slightly better)
"tlb_frozen" name for the flag others call "fullmm".

And now the ptep_get_and_clear_full macro used in zap_pte_range refers
directly to tlb->fullmm, which would be wrong for sparc64. Rather than
correct that, I'd prefer to scrap tlb_is_full_mm altogether, and change
sparc64 to just use the same poor name as everyone else - is that okay?

[PATCH] mm: page fault handlers tidyup

Impose a little more consistency on the page fault handlers do_wp_page,

arguments

[PATCH] mm: page fault handlers tidyup

Impose a little more consistency on the page fault handlers do_wp_page,
do_swap_page, do_anonymous_page, do_no_page, do_file_page: why not pass their
arguments in the same order, called the same names?

break_cow is all very well, but what it did was inlined elsewhere: easier to
compare if it's brought back into do_wp_page.

do_file_page's fallback to do_no_page dates from a time when we were testing
pte_file by using it wherever possible: currently it's peculiar to nonlinear
vmas, so just check that. BUG_ON if not? Better not, it's probably page
table corruption, so just show the pte: hmm, there's a pte_ERROR macro, let's
use that for do_wp_page's invalid pfn too.

Hah! Someone in the ppc64 world noticed pte_ERROR was unused so removed it:
restored (and say "pud" not "pmd" in its pud_ERROR).

[PATCH] mm: anon is already wrprotected

do_anonymous_page's pte_wrprotect causes some confusion: in such a case,
vm_page_prot must already be forcing COW, so must omit write permission, and
so the pte_wrprotect is redundant. Replace it by a comment to that effect,
and reword the comment on unuse_pte which also caused confusion.

zap_pte_range already avoids wasting time to mark_page_accessed on anon pages:
it can also skip anon set_page_dirty - the page only needs to be marked dirty
if shared with another mm, but that will say pte_dirty too.

[PATCH] mm: copy_pte_range progress fix

My latency breaking in copy_pte_range didn't work as intended: instead of
checking at regularish intervals, after the first interval it checked every
time around the loop, too impatient to be preempted. Fix that.

[PATCH] Fix handling spurious page fault for hugetlb region

This reverts commit 3359b54c8c07338f3a863d1109b42eebccdcf379 and
replaces it with a cleaner version that is purely based on page table
operations, so that the synchronization between inode size and hugetlb
mappings becomes moot.
