    mm: Introduce vma_is_special_huge · 2484ca9b
    Thomas Hellstrom (VMware) 提交于
    For VM_PFNMAP and VM_MIXEDMAP vmas that want to support transhuge pages
    and -page table entries, introduce vma_is_special_huge() that takes the
    same codepaths as vma_is_dax().
    
    The use of "special" follows the definition in memory.c, vm_normal_page():
    "Special" mappings do not wish to be associated with a "struct page"
    (either it doesn't exist, or it exists but they don't want to touch it)
    
    For PAGE_SIZE pages, "special" is determined per page table entry to be
    able to deal with COW pages. But since we don't have huge COW pages,
    we can classify a vma as either "special huge" or "normal huge".
