Subject: [RFC][PATCH 0/3] pgtable bytes mis-accounting v2

Greetings,

the first test patch to fix the pgtable_bytes mis-accounting on s390
still had a few problems. For one it didn't work for x86 ..

Changes v1 -> v2:

 - Split the patch into three parts, one patch to add the mm_pxd_folded
   helpers, one patch to use to the helpers in mm_[dec|inc]_nr_[pmds|puds]
   and finally the fix for s390.

 - Drop the use of __is_defined, it does not work with the
   __PAGETABLE_PxD_FOLDED defines

 - Do not change the basic #ifdef'ery in mm.h, just add the calls
   to mm_pxd_folded to the pgtable_bytes accounting functions. This
   fixes the compile error on alpha (and potentially on other archs).

Martin Schwidefsky (3):
  mm: introduce mm_[p4d|pud|pmd]_folded
  mm: add mm_pxd_folded checks to pgtable_bytes accounting functions
  s390/mm: fix mis-accounting of pgtable_bytes
