[181/264] powerpc: gup_hugepte() support THP based tail recounting

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Nov 09 2011 - 23:08:54 EST


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

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

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3526741f0964c88bc2ce511e1078359052bf225b 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.
