Refactor the huge_pte helpers to use the new common __set_ptes_anysz() and __ptep_get_and_clear_anysz() APIs. This provides 2 benefits; First, when page_table_check=on, hugetlb is now properly/fully checked. Previously only the first page of a hugetlb folio was checked. Second, instead of having to call __set_ptes(nr=1) for each pte in a loop, the whole contiguous batch can now be set in one go, which enables some efficiencies and cleans up the code. One detail to note is that huge_ptep_clear_flush() was previously calling ptep_clear_flush() for a non-contiguous pte (i.e. a pud or pmd block mapping). This has a couple of disadvantages; first ptep_clear_flush() calls ptep_get_and_clear() which transparently handles contpte. Given we only call for non-contiguous ptes, it would be safe, but a waste of effort. It's preferable to go straight to the layer below. However, more problematic is that ptep_get_and_clear() is for PAGE_SIZE entries so it calls page_table_check_pte_clear() and would not clear the whole hugetlb folio. So let's stop special-casing the non-cont case and just rely on get_clear_contig_flush() to do the right thing for non-cont entries.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
