Jens Axboe de2939388b io_uring: improve registered buffer accounting for huge pages
io_uring does account any registered buffer as pinned/locked memory, and
checks limit and fails if the given user doesn't have a big enough limit
to register the ranges specified. However, if huge pages are used, we
are potentially under-accounting the memory in terms of what gets pinned
on the vm side.

This patch rectifies that, by ensuring that we account the full size of
a compound page, regardless of how much of it is being registered. Huge
pages are not accounted mulitple times - if multiple sections of a huge
page is registered, then the page is only accounted once.

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.
