[PATCH] Hugetlb: Copy on Write support

Browse source 
Implement copy-on-write support for hugetlb mappings so MAP_PRIVATE can be
supported.  This helps us to safely use hugetlb pages in many more
applications.  The patch makes the following changes.  If needed, I also have
it broken out according to the following paragraphs.

1. Add a pair of functions to set/clear write access on huge ptes.  The
   writable check in make_huge_pte is moved out to the caller for use by COW
   later.

2. Hugetlb copy-on-write requires special case handling in the following
   situations:

   - copy_hugetlb_page_range() - Copied pages must be write protected so
     a COW fault will be triggered (if necessary) if those pages are written
     to.

   - find_or_alloc_huge_page() - Only MAP_SHARED pages are added to the
     page cache.  MAP_PRIVATE pages still need to be locked however.

3. Provide hugetlb_cow() and calls from hugetlb_fault() and
   hugetlb_no_page() which handles the COW fault by making the actual copy.

4. Remove the check in hugetlbfs_file_map() so that MAP_PRIVATE mmaps
   will be allowed.  Make MAP_HUGETLB exempt from the depricated VM_RESERVED
   mapping check.
