The new remove_hugetlb_page() routine is designed to remove a hugetlb
page from hugetlbfs processing. It will remove the page from the active
or free list, update global counters and set the compound page
destructor to NULL so that PageHuge() will return false for the 'page'.
After this call, the 'page' can be treated as a normal compound page or
a collection of base size pages.
update_and_free_page no longer decrements h->nr_huge_pages{_node} as
this is performed in remove_hugetlb_page. The only functionality
performed by update_and_free_page is to free the base pages to the lower
level allocators.
update_and_free_page is typically called after remove_hugetlb_page.
remove_hugetlb_page is to be called with the hugetlb_lock held.
Creating this routine and separating functionality is in preparation for
restructuring code to reduce lock hold times. This commit should not
introduce any changes to functionality.

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.
