Mike Kravetz 3823783088 hugetlbfs: remove hugetlb_add_hstate() warning for existing hstate
hugetlb_add_hstate() prints a warning if the hstate already exists.  This
was originally done as part of kernel command line parsing.  If
'hugepagesz=' was specified more than once, the warning

	pr_warn("hugepagesz= specified twice, ignoring\n");

would be printed.

Some architectures want to enable all huge page sizes.  They would call
hugetlb_add_hstate for all supported sizes.  However, this was done after
command line processing and as a result hstates could have already been
created for some sizes.  To make sure no warning were printed, there would
often be code like:

	if (!size_to_hstate(size)
		hugetlb_add_hstate(ilog2(size) - PAGE_SHIFT)

The only time we want to print the warning is as the result of command
line processing.  So, remove the warning from hugetlb_add_hstate and add
it to the single arch independent routine processing "hugepagesz=".  After
this, calls to size_to_hstate() in arch specific code can be removed and
hugetlb_add_hstate can be called without worrying about warning messages.

README

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.
