An earlier patch in this series disabled file_region coalescing in order to hang the hugetlb_cgroup uncharge info on the file_region entries. This patch re-adds support for coalescing of file_region entries. Essentially everytime we add an entry, we call a recursive function that tries to coalesce the added region with the regions next to it. The worst case call depth for this function is 3: one to coalesce with the region next to it, one to coalesce to the region prev, and one to reach the base case. This is an important performance optimization as private mappings add their entries page by page, and we could incur big performance costs for large mappings with lots of file_region entries in their resv_map.

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.
