When we look into pagemap using page-types with option -p, the value of
pfn for hugepages looks wrong (see below.) This is because pte was
evaluated only once for one vma although it should be updated for each
hugepage. This patch fixes it.
$ page-types -p 3277 -Nl -b huge
voffset offset len flags
7f21e8a00 11e400 1 ___U___________H_G________________
7f21e8a01 11e401 1ff ________________TG________________

7f21e8c00 11e400 1 ___U___________H_G________________

One hugepage contains 1 head page and 511 tail pages in x86_64 and each
two lines represent each hugepage. Voffset and offset mean virtual
address and physical address in the page unit, respectively. The
different hugepages should not have the same offset value.
With this patch applied:
$ page-types -p 3386 -Nl -b huge
voffset offset len flags
7fec7a600 112c00 1 ___UD__________H_G________________
7fec7a601 112c01 1ff ________________TG________________
^^^
7fec7a800 113200 1 ___UD__________H_G________________
7fec7a801 113201 1ff ________________TG________________

OK
More info:
- This patch modifies walk_page_range()'s hugepage walker. But the
change only affects pagemap_read(), which is the only caller of hugepage
callback.
- Without this patch, hugetlb_entry() callback is called per vma, that
doesn't match the natural expectation from its name.
- With this patch, hugetlb_entry() is called per hugepte entry and the
callback can become much simpler.

Most callers of pmd_none_or_clear_bad() check whether the target page is
in a hugepage or not, but walk_page_range() do not check it. So if we
read /proc/pid/pagemap for the hugepage on x86 machine, the hugepage
memory is leaked as shown below. This patch fixes it.
Details
=======
My test program (leak_pagemap) works as follows:
- creat() and mmap() a file on hugetlbfs (file size is 200MB == 100 hugepages,)
- read()/write() something on it,
- call page-types with option -p (walk around the page tables),
- munmap() and unlink() the file on hugetlbfs
Without my patches
------------------
$ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage"
HugePages_Total: 1000
HugePages_Free: 1000
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
$ ./leak_pagemap
[snip output]
$ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage"
HugePages_Total: 1000
HugePages_Free: 900
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
$ ls /hugetlbfs/
$
100 hugepages are accounted as used while there is no file on hugetlbfs.
With my patches
---------------
$ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage"
HugePages_Total: 1000
HugePages_Free: 1000
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
$ ./leak_pagemap
[snip output]
$ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage"

$ ls /hugetlbfs

No memory leaks.

We need this at least for huge page detection for now, because powerpc
needs the vm_area_struct to be able to determine whether a virtual address
is referring to a huge page (its pmd_huge() doesn't work).
It might also come in handy for some of the other users.

After the loop in walk_pte_range() pte might point to the first address after
the pmd it walks. The pte_unmap() is then applied to something bad.
