Thank you for the V2 David,
I have some comments below.

I would recommend running the next version of this series through
the libhugetlbfs test suite, as that may pick up a few things too.

Cheers,

Not sure about this definition. I would just go with the maximum possible
which is for a 4KB granule:
1 x 1GB pud
1 x 2MB pmd
16 x 2MB pmds
16 x 4KB ptes

So 4 for now?

Why has PTE_CONT been added to the pte_modify mask? This will allow
functions such as mprotect to remove the PTE_CONT bit.

pte_modify_pfn and pmd_modify_pfn aren't referenced anywhere in the
patch so should be removed.

We need to check for pgd_present and pud_present as we walk.
I would be tempted to VM_BUG_ON if they are in an unexpected state.

I would check for pmd_present and VM_BUG_ON if it wasn't in an expected
state.

> +	*pgsize = PAGE_SIZE;
> +	return CONT_PTES;
> +}

Another approach would be something like:

struct vm_area_struct *vma = find_vma(mm, addr);
struct hstate *h = hstate_vma(vma);
size_t size = hpage_size(h);

But I think looking at the page table entries like you've done (with
some checking) may be a little better as it can supply some more robust
debugging with DEBUG_VM selected (and it doesn't need to find_vma).

We can return early here and avoid a level of indentation below.

I see... so the contiguous pte and pmd cases are folded together.
The pgsize variable name could be changed, perhaps something like blocksize?
(I am terrible at picking names though :-)).

Probably better to simplify the levels of indentation with:
	if (!pud)
		return NULL;
(or goto out before your pr_debug)

Perhaps better to do something with switch(sz) below?

This can be simplified to something like:

if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE)
	&& pud_none(*pud))
else

So we can remove the preprocessor macros.

Again drop a level of indentation with:
if (!pgd_present(*pgd))
	return NULL;

Similarly for pud_present and pmd_present.

Nice, we are keeping track of the dirty state. This looks to me like
it *should* work well with the dirty bit management patch that Catalin
introduced:
2f4b829 arm64: Add support for hardware updates of the access and dirty pte bits

Because ptep_get_and_clear will atomically get and clear the pte with
respect to the hardware dirty bit management thus we don't lose any
dirty information. huge_pte_dirty is then called on the extracted pte
by core code.

For a contiguous set of ptes/pmds the individual entry will be dirtied
by DBM rather than the complete set so it's good to check them all for
dirty when going through a get and clear.

Technically we don't need to track dirty if CONFIG_ARM64_HW_AFDBM is
not defined as the core code will fault and modify the entire set of
ptes otherwise.

I would be tempted to keep this code as is, but add a comment that
tracking the dirty variable here helps for when we switch on
CONFIG_ARM64_HW_AFDBM.

Similar thing here, we are folding the cont pte and pmd logic together,
probably best go for something like blocksize instead of pgsize.

Again switch statement here I think would be clearer.

Why is this initcall defined? Was it for testing?

I think we are missing a few functions:
huge_ptep_set_access_flags
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect
huge_ptep_clear_flush

These functions need to loop through the contiguous set of ptes
or pmds. They should call into the ptep_ equivalents as they will
then work with the DBM patch.
