Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Add hstate parameter to huge_pte_offset()

On architectures that support hugepages composed of contiguous pte(s)
as well as block entries at the same level in the page table,
huge_pte_offset() is not able to determine the correct offset to
return when it encounters a swap entry (which is used to mark poisoned
as well as migrated pages in the page table).

huge_pte_offset() needs to know the size of the hugepage at the
requested address to determine the offset to return - the current
entry or the first entry of a set of contiguous hugepages. This came
up while enabling support for memory failure handling on arm64 (Patch
3-4 add this support and are included here for completeness).

Patch 1 adds a hstate parameter to huge_pte_offset() to provide
additional information about the target address. It also updates the
signatures (and usage) of huge_pte_offset() for architectures that
override the generic implementation.

Patch 2 uses the size determined by the parameter added in Patch 1, to
return the correct page table offset in the arm64 implementation of
huge_pte_offset().

The patchset is based on top of v4.11-rc4 and the arm64 huge page
cleanup for break-before-make[0]. Previous posting can be found at
[1].

Changes RFC -> v1

* Fixed a missing conversion of huge_pte_offset() prototype to add
  hstate parameter. Reported by 0-day.
