* Free some vmemmap pages of HugeTLB

*
* The struct page structures (page structs) are used to describe a physical
* page frame. By default, there is a one-to-one mapping from a page frame to
* it's corresponding page struct.
*
* HugeTLB pages consist of multiple base page size pages and is supported by
* many architectures. See hugetlbpage.rst in the Documentation directory for
* more details. On the x86-64 architecture, HugeTLB pages of size 2MB and 1GB
* are currently supported. Since the base page size on x86 is 4KB, a 2MB
* HugeTLB page consists of 512 base pages and a 1GB HugeTLB page consists of
* 4096 base pages. For each base page, there is a corresponding page struct.
*
* Within the HugeTLB subsystem, only the first 4 page structs are used to
* contain unique information about a HugeTLB page. __NR_USED_SUBPAGE provides
* this upper limit. The only 'useful' information in the remaining page structs
* is the compound_head field, and this field is the same for all tail pages.
*
* By removing redundant page structs for HugeTLB pages, memory can be returned
* to the buddy allocator for other uses.
*
* Different architectures support different HugeTLB pages. For example, the
* following table is the HugeTLB page size supported by x86 and arm64
* architectures. Because arm64 supports 4k, 16k, and 64k base pages and
* supports contiguous entries, so it supports many kinds of sizes of HugeTLB
* page.
*
* +--------------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------+
* | Architecture | Page Size | HugeTLB Page Size |
* +--------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+
* | x86-64 | 4KB | 2MB | 1GB | | |
* +--------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+
* | | 4KB | 64KB | 2MB | 32MB | 1GB |
* | +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+
* | arm64 | 16KB | 2MB | 32MB | 1GB | |
* | +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+
* | | 64KB | 2MB | 512MB | 16GB | |
* +--------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+
*
* When the system boot up, every HugeTLB page has more than one struct page
* structs which size is (unit: pages):
*
* struct_size = HugeTLB_Size / PAGE_SIZE * sizeof(struct page) / PAGE_SIZE
*
* Where HugeTLB_Size is the size of the HugeTLB page. We know that the size
* of the HugeTLB page is always n times PAGE_SIZE. So we can get the following
* relationship.
*
* HugeTLB_Size = n * PAGE_SIZE
*
* Then,
*
* struct_size = n * PAGE_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE * sizeof(struct page) / PAGE_SIZE
* = n * sizeof(struct page) / PAGE_SIZE
*
* We can use huge mapping at the pud/pmd level for the HugeTLB page.
*
* For the HugeTLB page of the pmd level mapping, then
*
* struct_size = n * sizeof(struct page) / PAGE_SIZE
* = PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(pte_t) * sizeof(struct page) / PAGE_SIZE
* = sizeof(struct page) / sizeof(pte_t)
* = 64 / 8
* = 8 (pages)
*
* Where n is how many pte entries which one page can contains. So the value of
* n is (PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(pte_t)).
*
* This optimization only supports 64-bit system, so the value of sizeof(pte_t)
* is 8. And this optimization also applicable only when the size of struct page
* is a power of two. In most cases, the size of struct page is 64 bytes (e.g.
* x86-64 and arm64). So if we use pmd level mapping for a HugeTLB page, the
* size of struct page structs of it is 8 page frames which size depends on the
* size of the base page.
*
* For the HugeTLB page of the pud level mapping, then
*
* struct_size = PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(pmd_t) * struct_size(pmd)
* = PAGE_SIZE / 8 * 8 (pages)
* = PAGE_SIZE (pages)
*
* Where the struct_size(pmd) is the size of the struct page structs of a
* HugeTLB page of the pmd level mapping.
*
* E.g.: A 2MB HugeTLB page on x86_64 consists in 8 page frames while 1GB
* HugeTLB page consists in 4096.
*
* Next, we take the pmd level mapping of the HugeTLB page as an example to
* show the internal implementation of this optimization. There are 8 pages
* struct page structs associated with a HugeTLB page which is pmd mapped.
*
* Here is how things look before optimization.
*
* HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages)
* +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+
* | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 |
* | | +-----------+ +-----------+
* | | | 1 | -------------> | 1 |
* | | +-----------+ +-----------+
* | | | 2 | -------------> | 2 |
* | | +-----------+ +-----------+

* | | +-----------+ +-----------+

* | | +-----------+ +-----------+
* | |
* | |
* | |
* +-----------+
*
* The value of page->compound_head is the same for all tail pages. The first
* page of page structs (page 0) associated with the HugeTLB page contains the 4
* page structs necessary to describe the HugeTLB. The only use of the remaining
* pages of page structs (page 1 to page 7) is to point to page->compound_head.
* Therefore, we can remap pages 2 to 7 to page 1. Only 2 pages of page structs
* will be used for each HugeTLB page. This will allow us to free the remaining
* 6 pages to the buddy allocator.
*
* Here is how things look after remapping.
*
* HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages)
* +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+
* | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 |
* | | +-----------+ +-----------+
* | | | 1 | -------------> | 1 |

*
* When a HugeTLB is freed to the buddy system, we should allocate 6 pages for
* vmemmap pages and restore the previous mapping relationship.
*
* For the HugeTLB page of the pud level mapping. It is similar to the former.
* We also can use this approach to free (PAGE_SIZE - 2) vmemmap pages.
*
* Apart from the HugeTLB page of the pmd/pud level mapping, some architectures
* (e.g. aarch64) provides a contiguous bit in the translation table entries
* that hints to the MMU to indicate that it is one of a contiguous set of
* entries that can be cached in a single TLB entry.
*
* The contiguous bit is used to increase the mapping size at the pmd and pte
* (last) level. So this type of HugeTLB page can be optimized only when its
* size of the struct page structs is greater than 2 pages.
