I think that this patch is independen of page walker patch and vice versa.
But I agree that we can push this patch separately.

I think that we had this bug after "hugepage migration extension" patches
was merged at 3.12.
I did reproduce this bug on 3.14-rc1 (without page walker patch.)

Yes, I have a headache on this because defining this here as a simple
C function causes build error.
We can't use PageHuge in include/linux/pagemap.h, but we can in callers'
side (they include linux/hugetlb.h.)
But yes, I think this looks like a dirty workaround, so it's nice if
we could have any better idea.

I think yes at least for now, because we have page->index in page unit
for transparent hugepage. And as long as I know, we don't do rmapping for
transparent hugepage (callers should split thps in advancde if they need do
rmapping.) If this situation changes, we will need change on this function.

My big mistake, sorry. It must be a left shift.

I can't, either. If nobody suggests a better one, I'll take yours.
