[PATCH] 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.
