Patch series "mm/hugetlb: Add some new generic fallbacks", v3. This series adds the following new generic fallbacks. Before that it drops __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET from arm64 platform. 1. is_hugepage_only_range() 2. arch_clear_hugepage_flags() After this arm (32 bit) remains the sole platform defining it's own huge_ptep_get() via __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET. This patch (of 3): Platform specific huge_ptep_get() is required only when fetching the huge PTE involves more than just dereferencing the page table pointer. This is not the case on arm64 platform. Hence huge_ptep_pte() can be dropped along with it's __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET subscription. Before that, it updates the generic huge_ptep_get() with READ_ONCE() which will prevent known page table issues with THP on arm64.

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.
