mainlining shenanigans
b147c89cd4
Since the head vmemmap page frame associated with each HugeTLB page is reused, we should hide the PG_head flag of tail struct page from the user. Add a tese case to check whether it is work properly. The test steps are as follows. 1) alloc 2MB hugeTLB 2) get each page frame 3) apply those APIs in each page frame 4) Those APIs work completely the same as before. Reading the flags of a page by /proc/kpageflags is done in stable_page_flags(), which has invoked PageHead(), PageTail(), PageCompound() and compound_head(). If those APIs work properly, the head page must have 15 and 17 bits set. And tail pages must have 16 and 17 bits set but 15 bit unset. Those flags are checked in check_page_flags().

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.
