A follow up patch in this series adds hugetlb cgroup uncharge info the file_region entries in resv->regions. The cgroup uncharge info may differ for different regions, so they can no longer be coalesced at region_add time. So, disable region coalescing in region_add in this patch. Behavior change: Say a resv_map exists like this [0->1], [2->3], and [5->6]. Then a region_chg/add call comes in region_chg/add(f=0, t=5). Old code would generate resv->regions: [0->5], [5->6]. New code would generate resv->regions: [0->1], [1->2], [2->3], [3->5], [5->6]. Special care needs to be taken to handle the resv->adds_in_progress variable correctly. In the past, only 1 region would be added for every region_chg and region_add call. But now, each call may add multiple regions, so we can no longer increment adds_in_progress by 1 in region_chg, or decrement adds_in_progress by 1 after region_add or region_abort. Instead, region_chg calls add_reservation_in_range() to count the number of regions needed and allocates those, and that info is passed to region_add and region_abort to decrement adds_in_progress correctly. We've also modified the assumption that region_add after region_chg never fails. region_chg now pre-allocates at least 1 region for region_add. If region_add needs more regions than region_chg has allocated for it, then it may fail.

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 Restructured Text 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.
