[PATCH 4/5] teach smaps_pte_range() about THP pmds

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Mon Feb 21 2011 - 20:53:51 EST



v2 - used mm->page_table_lock to fix up locking bug that
Mel pointed out. Also remove Acks since things
got changed significantly.

This adds code to explicitly detect and handle
pmd_trans_huge() pmds. It then passes HPAGE_SIZE units
in to the smap_pte_entry() function instead of PAGE_SIZE.

This means that using /proc/$pid/smaps now will no longer
cause THPs to be broken down in to small pages.
