Current code fails to ignore the 'hugepages=' parameters when unsupported
hugepagesize is specified. With this patchset, introduce new architecture
independent routine hugetlb_bad_size to handle such command line options.
And then call it in architecture specific code.
Changes since v1:
- Separated different architecture specific changes in different
patches
- CC'ed all arch maintainers
Vaishali Thakkar (6):
mm/hugetlb: Introduce hugetlb_bad_size
arm64: mm: Use hugetlb_bad_size
metag: mm: Use hugetlb_bad_size
powerpc: mm: Use hugetlb_bad_size
tile: mm: Use hugetlb_bad_size
x86: mm: Use hugetlb_bad_size

The hugetlb parameters parsing is a bit mess but this at least makes it
behave more consistently. Feel free to add to all patches

On a side note. I have received patches with broken threading - the
follow up patches are not in the single thread under this cover email.
I thought this was the default behavior of git send-email but maybe your
(older) version doesn't do that. --thread option would enforce that
(with --no-chain-reply-to) or you can set it up in the git config. IMHO
it is always better to have the patchset in the single email thread.

Yes, now I have set up my git config for that. Hopefully, things will
work properly - patchset in a single thread from the next time.
Thanks.
