It is better to use huge page size instead of PAGE_SIZE for stride when flush hugepage, which reduces the loop in __flush_tlb_range(). Let's support arch's flush_hugetlb_tlb_range(), which is used in hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds(), move_hugetlb_page_tables() and hugetlb_change_protection() for now. Note,: for hugepages based on contiguous bit, it has to be invalidated individually since the contiguous PTE bit is just a hint, the hardware may or may not take it into account.

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.
