Yu Zhao e98337d11b mm/contig_alloc: support __GFP_COMP
Patch series "mm/hugetlb: alloc/free gigantic folios", v2.

Use __GFP_COMP for gigantic folios can greatly reduce not only the amount
of code but also the allocation and free time.

Approximate LOC to mm/hugetlb.c: +60, -240

Allocate and free 500 1GB hugeTLB memory without HVO by:
  time echo 500 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
  time echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages

       Before  After
Alloc  ~13s    ~10s
Free   ~15s    <1s

The above magnitude generally holds for multiple x86 and arm64 CPU
models.

          - 1.97% free_one_page
               1.86% __free_one_page

This patch (of 3):

Support __GFP_COMP in alloc_contig_range().  When the flag is set, upon
success the function returns a large folio prepared by prep_new_page(),
rather than a range of order-0 pages prepared by split_free_pages() (which
is renamed from split_map_pages()).

alloc_contig_range() can be used to allocate folios larger than
MAX_PAGE_ORDER, e.g., gigantic hugeTLB folios.  So on the free path,
free_one_page() needs to handle that by split_large_buddy().

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 reStructuredText 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.
