Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) c49f50d198 mm: make pagecache tagged lookups return only head pages
Patch series "Overhaul multi-page lookups for THP", v4.

This THP prep patchset changes several page cache iteration APIs to only
return head pages.

 - It's only possible to tag head pages in the page cache, so only
   return head pages, not all their subpages.
 - Factor a lot of common code out of the various batch lookup routines
 - Add mapping_seek_hole_data()
 - Unify find_get_entries() and pagevec_lookup_entries()
 - Make find_get_entries only return head pages, like find_get_entry().

These are only loosely connected, but they seem to make sense together as
a series.

This patch (of 14):

Pagecache tags are used for dirty page writeback.  Since dirtiness is
tracked on a per-THP basis, we only want to return the head page rather
than each subpage of a tagged page.  All the filesystems which use huge
pages today are in-memory, so there are no tagged huge pages today.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
