[RFC v4 PATCH 2/9] mm/hugetlb: expose hugetlb fault mutex for use by fallocate

From: Mike Kravetz
Date: Thu Jun 11 2015 - 17:03:44 EST


hugetlb page faults are currently synchronized by the table of
mutexes (htlb_fault_mutex_table). fallocate code will need to
synchronize with the page fault code when it allocates or
deletes pages. Expose interfaces so that fallocate operations
can be synchronized with page faults.
