    powerpc: add pte_free_defer() for pgtables sharing page · 32cc0b7c
    Hugh Dickins authored
    Add powerpc-specific pte_free_defer(), to free table page via call_rcu(). 
    pte_free_defer() will be called inside khugepaged's retract_page_tables()
    loop, where allocating extra memory cannot be relied upon.  This precedes
    the generic version to avoid build breakage from incompatible pgtable_t.
    
    This is awkward because the struct page contains only one rcu_head, but
    that page may be shared between PTE_FRAG_NR pagetables, each wanting to
    use the rcu_head at the same time.  But powerpc never reuses a fragment
    once it has been freed: so mark the page Active in pte_free_defer(),
    before calling pte_fragment_free() directly; and there call_rcu() to
    pte_free_now() when last fragment is freed and the page is PageActive.
