-TODO: for 1GB and larger huge pages, this is cutting it close. That's because
-when pin_user_pages() follows such pages, it increments the head page by "1"
-(where "1" used to mean "+1" for get_user_pages(), but now means "+1024" for
-pin_user_pages()) for each tail page. So if you have a 1GB huge page:
-
-* There are 256K (18 bits) worth of 4 KB tail pages.
-* There are 21 bits available to count up via GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (that is,
- 10 bits at a time)
-* There are 21 - 18 == 3 bits available to count. Except that there aren't,
- because you need to allow for a few normal get_page() calls on the head page,
- as well. Fortunately, the approach of using addition, rather than "hard"
- bitfields, within page->_refcount, allows for sharing these bits gracefully.
- But we're still looking at about 8 references.
-
-This, however, is a missing feature more than anything else, because it's easily
-solved by addressing an obvious inefficiency in the original get_user_pages()
-approach of retrieving pages: stop treating all the pages as if they were
-PAGE_SIZE. Retrieve huge pages as huge pages. The callers need to be aware of
-this, so some work is required. Once that's in place, this limitation mostly
-disappears from view, because there will be ample refcounting range available.
