[PATCH 10/15] mm: Allow find_get_page to be used for large pages

From: Matthew Wilcox
Date: Tue Sep 24 2019 - 20:53:30 EST


From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add FGP_PMD to indicate that we're trying to find-or-create a page that
is at least PMD_ORDER in size. The internal 'conflict' entry usage
is modelled after that in DAX, but the implementations are different
due to DAX using multi-order entries and the page cache using multiple
order-0 entries.
