Mina Almasry 0db9d74ed8 hugetlb: disable region_add file_region coalescing
A follow up patch in this series adds hugetlb cgroup uncharge info the
file_region entries in resv->regions.  The cgroup uncharge info may differ
for different regions, so they can no longer be coalesced at region_add
time.  So, disable region coalescing in region_add in this patch.

Behavior change:

Say a resv_map exists like this [0->1], [2->3], and [5->6].

Then a region_chg/add call comes in region_chg/add(f=0, t=5).

Old code would generate resv->regions: [0->5], [5->6].
New code would generate resv->regions: [0->1], [1->2], [2->3], [3->5],
[5->6].

Special care needs to be taken to handle the resv->adds_in_progress
variable correctly.  In the past, only 1 region would be added for every
region_chg and region_add call.  But now, each call may add multiple
regions, so we can no longer increment adds_in_progress by 1 in
region_chg, or decrement adds_in_progress by 1 after region_add or
region_abort.  Instead, region_chg calls add_reservation_in_range() to
count the number of regions needed and allocates those, and that info is
passed to region_add and region_abort to decrement adds_in_progress
correctly.

We've also modified the assumption that region_add after region_chg never
fails.  region_chg now pre-allocates at least 1 region for region_add.  If
region_add needs more regions than region_chg has allocated for it, then
it may fail.

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.
