Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 02/10] mm, hugetlbfs: Allow an arch to always use
 generic versions of get_unmapped_area functions

Excerpts from Christophe Leroy's message of December 9, 2021 3:18 am:
> Unlike most architectures, powerpc can only define at runtime
> if it is going to use the generic arch_get_unmapped_area() or not.
> 
> Today, powerpc has a copy of the generic arch_get_unmapped_area()
> because when selection HAVE_ARCH_UNMAPPED_AREA the generic
> arch_get_unmapped_area() is not available.
> 
> Rename it generic_get_unmapped_area() and make it independent of
> HAVE_ARCH_UNMAPPED_AREA.
> 
> Do the same for arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() versus
> HAVE_ARCH_UNMAPPED_AREA_TOPDOWN.
> 
> Do the same for hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() versus
> HAVE_ARCH_HUGETLB_UNMAPPED_AREA.
