The quilt patch titled
     Subject: selftests/mm: fix va_high_addr_switch.sh failure on x86_64
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     selftests-mm-fix-va_high_addr_switchsh-failure-on-x86_64.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

The test will fail as below on x86_64 with cpu la57 support (will skip if
no la57 support).  Note, the test requries nr_hugepages to be set first.

  # [FAIL]

addr_switch_hint is defined as DFEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW in the failed test (for
x86_64, DFEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW is defined as (1UL<<47) - pagesize) in 64 bit.

Before commit cc92882ee218 ("mm: drop hugetlb_get_unmapped_area{_*}
functions"), for x86_64 hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() is handled in arch
code arch/x86/mm/hugetlbpage.c and addr is checked with
map_address_hint_valid() after align with 'addr &= huge_page_mask(h)'
which is a round down way, and it will fail the check because the addr is
within the DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW but (addr + len) is above the
DFEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW.  So it wil go through the
hugetlb_get_unmmaped_area_top_down() to find an area within the
DFEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW.

After commit cc92882ee218 ("mm: drop hugetlb_get_unmapped_area{_*}
functions").  The addr hint for hugetlb_get_unmmaped_area() will be
rounded up and aligned to hugepage size with ALIGN() for all arches.  And
after the align, the addr will be above the default MAP_DEFAULT_WINDOW,
and the map_addresshint_valid() check will pass because both aligned addr
(addr0) and (addr + len) are above the DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW, and the aligned
hint address (0x800000000000) is returned as an suitable gap is found
there, in arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown().

To still cover the case that addr is within the DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW, and
addr + len is above the DFEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW, change to choose the last
hugepage aligned address within the DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW as the hint addr,
and the addr + len (2 hugepages) will be one hugepage above the
DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW.  An aligned address won't be affected by the page
round up or round down from kernel, so it's determistic.
