[PATCHv8 16/32] vmscan: split file huge pages before paging them out

From: Kirill A. Shutemov <hidden>
Date: 2016-05-12 15:40:56
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - mglru (multi-gen lru), memory management - reclaim, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Johannes Weiner, Linus Torvalds

This is preparation of vmscan for file huge pages. We cannot write out
huge pages, so we need to split them on the way out.
