MADV_FREE needs pmd_dirty and pmd_mkclean for detecting recent
overwrite of the contents since MADV_FREE syscall is called for
THP page.

This patch adds pmd_dirty and pmd_mkclean for THP page MADV_FREE
support.

Looks fine to me, but it would be good if Steve can take a look too.

BTW: the subject of the patch says 'ARM:' but this only affects arm64. Is
there a corresponding patch for arch/arm/ too?

Hi Minchan,

This looks good to me too.
As Will said this applies to arm64, we will also need a version for:
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h.

Is there a testcase we can run to check that this patch set is working
well for arm/arm64?

Cheers,
