[185/264] sparc: gup_pte_range() support THP based tail recounting

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Nov 09 2011 - 23:04:10 EST


3.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e0d85a366c2300efd230ef82a9b22110b0658331 upstream.

Up to this point the code assumed old refcounting for hugepages (pre-thp).
This updates the code directly to the thp mapcount tail page refcounting.
