Hi Atsushi,

Could it be changed to checking hugepage first, then anonymous page?
This can avoid involving the free_huge_page.

like this:
	int nr_pages;
	if (page_is_hugepage(flags) {
		int nr_pages = 1 << compound_order;

		exclude_range(&pfn_user, pfn, pfn + nr_pages, cycle);

		pfn += nr_pages - 1;
		mem_map += (nr_pages - 1) * SIZE(page);
	} else if (isAnon(mapping)) {
		int nr_pages = 1;

		exclude_range(&pfn_user, pfn, pfn + nr_pages, cycle);

		pfn += nr_pages - 1;
		mem_map += (nr_pages - 1) * SIZE(page);
	}
		
But I may not know the meaning of free_huge_page completely. If you
think introducing free_huge_page is better, I am fine too, can ACK that
kernel patch to export free_huge_page you posted.

Thanks
Baoquan
