Refactor __set_ptes(), set_pmd_at() and set_pud_at() so that they are all a thin wrapper around a new common __set_ptes_anysz(), which takes pgsize parameter. Additionally, refactor __ptep_get_and_clear() and pmdp_huge_get_and_clear() to use a new common __ptep_get_and_clear_anysz() which also takes a pgsize parameter. These changes will permit the huge_pte API to efficiently batch-set pgtable entries and take advantage of the future barrier optimizations. Additionally since the new *_anysz() helpers call the correct page_table_check_*_set() API based on pgsize, this means that huge_ptes will be able to get proper coverage. Currently the huge_pte API always uses the pte API which assumes an entry only covers a single page.

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 reStructuredText 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.
