mm/filemap: remove hugetlb special casing in filemap.c
Remove special cased hugetlb handling code within the page cache by changing the granularity of ->index to the base page size rather than the huge page size. The motivation of this patch is to reduce complexity within the filemap code while also increasing performance by removing branches that are evaluated on every page cache lookup. To support the change in index, new wrappers for hugetlb page cache interactions are added. These wrappers perform the conversion to a linear index which is now expected by the page cache for huge pages. ========================= PERFORMANCE ====================================== Perf was used to check the performance differences after the patch. Overall the performance is similar to mainline with a very small larger overhead that occurs in __filemap_add_folio() and hugetlb_add_to_page_cache(). This is because of the larger overhead that occurs in xa_load() and xa_store() as the xarray is now using more entries to store hugetlb folios in the page cache.
