From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>

This patchset gets a little further through xfstests than
v4 did.  It's still based on readahead_v11, and you can get it from
http://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax.git/shortlog/refs/heads/xarray-pagecache
if you'd rather see it there (this branch is force-pushed frequently)

The primary idea here is that a large part of the overhead in dealing
with individual pages is that there's just so darned many of them.
We would be better off dealing with fewer, larger pages, even if they
don't get to be the size necessary for the CPU to use a larger TLB entry.

The approach taken is to make THPs support arbitrary power-of-two sizes
(instead of just PMDs).  There's probably some tuning to be done to decide
what sizes are worth using, but we're a fair way from doing performance
work with this patchset yet.

TODO:
 - Rename hpage_nr_pages() to thp_count()
 - Maybe add a thp_mask()
 - Should flush_dcache_page() support THPs natively
 - Add Bill's SoB to all patches

v5:
 - Add a mapping AS_LARGE_PAGES flag to reduce the levels of indirection
   (Dave Chinner)
 - Change iomap_invalidate_page() to handle subpages of a THP being punched
 - Ensure we don't call page_cache_async_readahead() with a tail page
 - Revert to Bill's original patch for thp_get_unmapped_area() to allow
   for hardware page sizes other than PMD to be supported more easily
 - Remove a few more HPAGE_PMD_NR
 - Move shmem_punch_compound() to truncate.c and rename it to punch_thp()
 - Add support for page_private to punch_thp()

v4:
 - Fix thp_size typo
 - Fix the iomap page_mkwrite() path to operate on the head page, even
   though the vm_fault has a pointer to the tail page
 - Fix iomap_finish_ioend() to use bio_for_each_thp_segment_all()
 - Rework PageDoubleMap (see first two patches for details)
 - Fix page_cache_delete() to handle shadow entries being stored to a THP
 - Fix the assertion in pagecache_get_page() to handle tail pages
 - Change PageReadahead from NO_COMPOUND to ONLY_HEAD
 - Handle PageReadahead being set on head pages
 - Handle total_mapcount correctly (Kirill)
 - Pull the FS_LARGE_PAGES check out into mapping_large_pages()
 - Fix page size assumption in truncate_cleanup_page()
 - Avoid splitting large pages unnecessarily on truncate
 - Disable the page cache truncation introduced as part of the read-only
   THP patch set
 - Call compound_head() in iomap buffered write paths -- we retrieve a
   (potentially) tail page from the page cache and need to use that for
   flush_dcache_page(), but we expect to operate on a head page in most
   of the iomap code
