    hugetlbfs: add arch_hugetlb_valid_size · ae94da89
    Mike Kravetz authored
    Patch series "Clean up hugetlb boot command line processing", v4.
    
    Longpeng(Mike) reported a weird message from hugetlb command line
    processing and proposed a solution [1].  While the proposed patch does
    address the specific issue, there are other related issues in command line
    processing.  As hugetlbfs evolved, updates to command line processing have
    been made to meet immediate needs and not necessarily in a coordinated
    manner.  The result is that some processing is done in arch specific code,
    some is done in arch independent code and coordination is problematic.
    Semantics can vary between architectures.
    
    The patch series does the following:
    - Define arch specific arch_hugetlb_valid_size routine used to validate
      passed huge page sizes.
    - Move hugepagesz= command line parsing out of arch specific code and into
      an arch independent routine.
    - Clean up command line processing to follow desired semantics and
      document those semantics.

    This patch (of 3):
    
    The architecture independent routine hugetlb_default_setup sets up the
    default huge pages size.  It has no way to verify if the passed value is
    valid, so it accepts it and attempts to validate at a later time.  This
    requires undocumented cooperation between the arch specific and arch
    independent code.
    
    For architectures that support more than one huge page size, provide a
    routine arch_hugetlb_valid_size to validate a huge page size.
    hugetlb_default_setup can use this to validate passed values.
    
    arch_hugetlb_valid_size will also be used in a subsequent patch to move
    processing of the "hugepagesz=" in arch specific code to a common routine
    in arch independent code.
