Hugh Dickins 8211dad627 s390: add pte_free_defer() for pgtables sharing page
Add s390-specific pte_free_defer(), to free table page via call_rcu(). 
pte_free_defer() will be called inside khugepaged's retract_page_tables()
loop, where allocating extra memory cannot be relied upon.  This precedes
the generic version to avoid build breakage from incompatible pgtable_t.

This version is more complicated than others: because s390 fits two 2K
page tables into one 4K page (so page->rcu_head must be shared between
both halves), and already uses page->lru (which page->rcu_head overlays)
to list any free halves; with clever management by page->_refcount bits.

Build upon the existing management, adjusted to follow a new rule: that a
page is never on the free list if pte_free_defer() was used on either half
(marked by PageActive).  And for simplicity, delay calling RCU until both
halves are freed.

Not adding back unallocated fragments to the list in pte_free_defer() can
result in wasting some amount of memory for pagetables, depending on how
long the allocated fragment will stay in use.  In practice, this effect is
expected to be insignificant, and not justify a far more complex approach,
which might allow to add the fragments back later in __tlb_remove_table(),
where we might not have a stable mm any more.

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.
