The function hugetlb_reserve_pages() returns the number of pages added
to the reservation map on success and a negative error code on failure
(e.g. -EINVAL, -ENOMEM). However, in some error paths, it may return -1
directly.
For example, a failure at:
if (hugetlb_acct_memory(h, gbl_reserve) < 0)
goto out_put_pages;
results in returning -1 (since add = -1), which may be misinterpreted
in userspace as -EPERM.
Fix this by explicitly capturing and propagating the return values from
helper functions, and using -EINVAL for all other failure cases.

Having converted so much of the code base to software leaf entries, we can
mop up some remaining cases.
We replace is_pfn_swap_entry(), pfn_swap_entry_to_page(),
is_writable_device_private_entry(), is_device_exclusive_entry(),
is_migration_entry(), is_writable_migration_entry(),
is_readable_migration_entry(), swp_offset_pfn() and pfn_swap_entry_folio()
with softleaf equivalents.
No functional change intended.

We do not need to have explicit helper functions for these, it adds a
level of confusion and indirection when we can simply use software leaf
entry logic here instead and spell out the special huge_pte_none() case we
must consider.

There's an established convention in the kernel that we treat PTEs as
containing swap entries (and the unfortunately named non-swap swap
entries) should they be neither empty (i.e. pte_none() evaluating true)
nor present (i.e. pte_present() evaluating true).
However, there is some inconsistency in how this is applied, as we also
have the is_swap_pte() helper which explicitly performs this check:
/* check whether a pte points to a swap entry */
static inline int is_swap_pte(pte_t pte)
{
return !pte_none(pte) && !pte_present(pte);
}
As this represents a predicate, and it's logical to assume that in order
to establish that a PTE entry can correctly be manipulated as a
swap/non-swap entry, this predicate seems as if it must first be checked.
But we instead, we far more often utilise the established convention of
checking pte_none() / pte_present() before operating on entries as if they
were swap/non-swap.
This patch works towards correcting this inconsistency by removing all
uses of is_swap_pte() where we are already in a position where we perform
pte_none()/pte_present() checks anyway or otherwise it is clearly logical
to do so.
We also take advantage of the fact that pte_swp_uffd_wp() is only set on
swap entries.
Additionally, update comments referencing to is_swap_pte() and
non_swap_entry().
No functional change intended.

The kernel maintains leaf page table entries which contain either:
The kernel maintains leaf page table entries which contain either:
- Nothing ('none' entries)
- Present entries*
- Everything else that will cause a fault which the kernel handles
* Present entries are either entries the hardware can navigate without page
fault or special cases like NUMA hint protnone or PMD with cleared
present bit which contain hardware-valid entries modulo the present bit.
In the 'everything else' group we include swap entries, but we also
include a number of other things such as migration entries, device private
entries and marker entries.
Unfortunately this 'everything else' group expresses everything through a
swp_entry_t type, and these entries are referred to swap entries even
though they may well not contain a... swap entry.
This is compounded by the rather mind-boggling concept of a non-swap swap
entry (checked via non_swap_entry()) and the means by which we twist and
turn to satisfy this.
This patch lays the foundation for reducing this confusion.
We refer to 'everything else' as a 'software-define leaf entry' or
'softleaf'. for short And in fact we scoop up the 'none' entries into
this concept also so we are left with:
- Present entries.
- Softleaf entries (which may be empty).
This allows for radical simplification across the board - one can simply
convert any leaf page table entry to a leaf entry via softleaf_from_pte().
If the entry is present, we return an empty leaf entry, so it is assumed
the caller is aware that they must differentiate between the two
categories of page table entries, checking for the former via
pte_present().
As a result, we can eliminate a number of places where we would otherwise
need to use predicates to see if we can proceed with leaf page table entry
conversion and instead just go ahead and do it unconditionally.
We do so where we can, adjusting surrounding logic as necessary to
integrate the new softleaf_t logic as far as seems reasonable at this
stage.
We typedef swp_entry_t to softleaf_t for the time being until the
conversion can be complete, meaning everything remains compatible
regardless of which type is used. We will eventually remove swp_entry_t
when the conversion is complete.
We introduce a new header file to keep things clear - leafops.h - this
imports swapops.h so can direct replace swapops imports without issue, and
we do so in all the files that require it.
Additionally, add new leafops.h file to core mm maintainers entry.

Patch series "mm: remove is_swap_[pte, pmd]() + non-swap entries,
introduce leaf entries", v3.
There's an established convention in the kernel that we treat leaf page
tables (so far at the PTE, PMD level) as containing 'swap entries' should
they be neither empty (i.e. p**_none() evaluating true) nor present (i.e.
p**_present() evaluating true).
However, at the same time we also have helper predicates - is_swap_pte(),
is_swap_pmd() - which are inconsistently used.
This is problematic, as it is logical to assume that should somebody wish
to operate upon a page table swap entry they should first check to see if
it is in fact one.
It also implies that perhaps, in future, we might introduce a non-present,
none page table entry that is not a swap entry.
This series resolves this issue by systematically eliminating all use of
the is_swap_pte() and is swap_pmd() predicates so we retain only the
convention that should a leaf page table entry be neither none nor present
it is a swap entry.
We also have the further issue that 'swap entry' is unfortunately a really
rather overloaded term and in fact refers to both entries for swap and for
other information such as migration entries, page table markers, and
device private entries.
We therefore have the rather 'unique' concept of a 'non-swap' swap entry.
This series therefore introduces the concept of 'software leaf entries',
of type softleaf_t, to eliminate this confusion.
A software leaf entry in this sense is any page table entry which is
non-present, and represented by the softleaf_t type. That is - page table
leaf entries which are software-controlled by the kernel.
This includes 'none' or empty entries, which are simply represented by an
zero leaf entry value.
In order to maintain compatibility as we transition the kernel to this new
type, we simply typedef swp_entry_t to softleaf_t.
We introduce a number of predicates and helpers to interact with software
leaf entries in include/linux/leafops.h which, as it imports swapops.h,
can be treated as a drop-in replacement for swapops.h wherever leaf entry
helpers are used.
Since softleaf_from_[pte, pmd]() treats present entries as they were
empty/none leaf entries, this allows for a great deal of simplification of
code throughout the code base, which this series utilises a great deal.
We additionally change from swap entry to software leaf entry handling
where it makes sense to and eliminate functions from swapops.h where
software leaf entries obviate the need for the functions.
This patch (of 16):
PTE markers were previously only concerned with UFFD-specific logic - that
is, PTE entries with the UFFD WP marker set or those marked via
UFFDIO_POISON.
However since the introduction of guard markers in commit 7c53dfbdb024
("mm: add PTE_MARKER_GUARD PTE marker"), this has no longer been the case.
Issues have been avoided as guard regions are not permitted in conjunction
with UFFD, but it still leaves very confusing logic in place, most notably
the misleading and poorly named pte_none_mostly() and
huge_pte_none_mostly().
This predicate returns true for PTE entries that ought to be treated as
none, but only in certain circumstances, and on the assumption we are
dealing with H/W poison markers or UFFD WP markers.
This patch removes these functions and makes each invocation of these
functions instead explicitly check what it needs to check.
As part of this effort it introduces is_uffd_pte_marker() to explicitly
determine if a marker in fact is used as part of UFFD or not.
In the HMM logic we note that the only time we would need to check for a
fault is in the case of a UFFD WP marker, otherwise we simply encounter a
fault error (VM_FAULT_HWPOISON for H/W poisoned marker, VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV
for a guard marker), so only check for the UFFD WP case.
While we're here we also refactor code to make it easier to understand.

Following the extraction of sysfs code, this patch moves the sysctl
interface implementation into a dedicated file to further improve code
organization and maintainability of the hugetlb subsystem.
The following components are moved to mm/hugetlb_sysctl.c:
- proc_hugetlb_doulongvec_minmax()
- hugetlb_sysctl_handler_common()
- hugetlb_sysctl_handler()
- hugetlb_mempolicy_sysctl_handler() (CONFIG_NUMA)
- hugetlb_overcommit_handler()
- hugetlb_table[] sysctl table definition
- hugetlb_sysctl_init()
The hugetlb_internal.h header file is updated to declare the sysctl
initialization function with proper #ifdef guards for configurations
without CONFIG_SYSCTL support.
The Makefile is updated to compile hugetlb_sysctl.o when CONFIG_HUGETLBFS
is enabled. This refactoring reduces the size of hugetlb.c and logically
separates the sysctl interface from core hugetlb management code.
MAINTAINERS is updated to add new file hugetlb_sysctl.c.
No functional changes are introduced; all code is moved as-is from

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: refactor sysfs/sysctl interfaces", v5.
hugetlb.c has grown significantly and become difficult to maintain. This
patch series extracts the sysfs and sysctl interface code into separate
dedicated files to improve code organization.
The refactoring includes:
- Patch 1: Extract sysfs interface into mm/hugetlb_sysfs.c
- Patch 2: Extract sysctl interface into mm/hugetlb_sysctl.c
No functional changes are introduced in this series. The code is moved
as-is, with only minor formatting adjustments for code style consistency.
This should make future maintenance and enhancements to the hugetlb
subsystem easier.
Testing: The patch series has been compile-tested and maintains the same
functionality as the original code.
This patch (of 2):
Currently, hugetlb.c contains both core management logic and sysfs
interface implementations, making it difficult to maintain. This patch
extracts the sysfs-related code into a dedicated file to improve code
organization.
The following components are moved to mm/hugetlb_sysfs.c:
- sysfs attribute definitions and handlers
- sysfs kobject management functions
- NUMA per-node hstate attribute registration
Several inline helper functions and macros are moved to
mm/hugetlb_internal.h:
- hstate_is_gigantic_no_runtime()
- next_node_allowed()
- get_valid_node_allowed()
- hstate_next_node_to_alloc()
- hstate_next_node_to_free()
- for_each_node_mask_to_alloc/to_free macros
To support code sharing, these functions are changed from static to
exported symbols:
- remove_hugetlb_folio()
- add_hugetlb_folio()
- init_new_hugetlb_folio()
- prep_and_add_allocated_folios()
- demote_pool_huge_page()
- __nr_hugepages_store_common()
The Makefile is updated to compile hugetlb_sysfs.o when CONFIG_HUGETLBFS
is enabled. This maintains all existing functionality while improving
maintainability by separating concerns.
MAINTAINERS is updated to add new file hugetlb_sysfs.c.

Extract the zone number directly from the folio instead of using the
folio's zone number to look up the zone and asking the zone what its
number is.
Also we should use &folio->page instead of casting from folio to page

For now, including <asm/pgalloc.h> instead of <linux/pgalloc.h> is
technically fine unless the .c file calls p*d_populate_kernel() helper
functions.
But it is a better practice to always include <linux/pgalloc.h>. Include
<linux/pgalloc.h> instead of <asm/pgalloc.h> outside arch/.

Since we can now perform actions after the VMA is established via
mmap_prepare, use desc->action_success_hook to set up the hugetlb lock
once the VMA is setup.
We also make changes throughout hugetlbfs to make this possible.
Note that we must hide newly established hugetlb VMAs from the rmap until
the operation is entirely complete as we establish a hugetlb lock during
VMA setup that can be raced by rmap users.

Currently, gigantic hugepages cannot use the overcommit mechanism
(nr_overcommit_hugepages), forcing users to permanently reserve memory via
nr_hugepages even when pages might not be actively used.
The restriction was added in 2011 [1], which was before there was support
for reserving 1G hugepages at runtime. Remove this blanket restriction on
gigantic hugepage overcommit. This will bring the same benefits to
gigantic pages as hugepages:
- Memory is only taken out of regular use when actually needed
- Unused surplus pages can be returned to the system
- Better memory utilization, especially with CMA backing which can
significantly increase the changes of hugepage allocation
Without this patch:
echo 3 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_overcommit_hugepages
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
With this patch:
echo 3 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_overcommit_hugepages

This is a common condition used to skip operations that cannot be
performed on gigantic pages when runtime support is disabled. This helper
is introduced as the condition will exist even more when allowing
"overcommit" of gigantic hugepages. No functional change intended with

When hugetlb_vmdelete_list() processes VMAs during truncate operations, it
may encounter VMAs where huge_pmd_unshare() is called without the required
shareable lock. This triggers an assertion failure in
hugetlb_vma_assert_locked().
The previous fix in commit dd83609b8898 ("hugetlbfs: skip VMAs without
shareable locks in hugetlb_vmdelete_list") skipped entire VMAs without
shareable locks to avoid the assertion. However, this prevented pages
from being unmapped and freed, causing a regression in
fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE) operations where pages were not freed immediately,
as reported by Mark Brown.
Instead of checking locks in the caller or skipping VMAs, move the lock
assertions in huge_pmd_unshare() to after the early return checks. The
assertions are only needed when actual PMD unsharing work will be
performed. If the function returns early because sz != PMD_SIZE or the
PMD is not shared, no locks are required and assertions should not fire.
This approach reverts the VMA skipping logic from commit dd83609b8898
("hugetlbfs: skip VMAs without shareable locks in hugetlb_vmdelete_list")
while moving the assertions to avoid the assertion failure, keeping all
the logic within huge_pmd_unshare() itself and allowing page unmapping and
freeing to proceed for all VMAs.

Soft lockup is not triggered with THP or base page because there is
cond_resched() called for each PMD size.
Although the soft lockup was triggered by MTE, it should be not MTE
specific. The other processing which takes long time in the loop may
trigger soft lockup too.
So add cond_resched() for hugetlb to avoid soft lockup.

Commit 79359d6d24df ("hugetlb: perform vmemmap optimization on a list of
pages") batches the submission of HugeTLB vmemmap optimization (HVO)
during hugepage reservation. With HVO enabled, hugepages obtained from
the buddy allocator are not submitted for optimization and their
struct-page memory is therefore not released—until the entire
reservation request has been satisfied. As a result, any struct-page
memory freed in the course of the allocation cannot be reused for the
ongoing reservation, artificially limiting the number of huge pages that
can ultimately be provided.
As commit b1222550fbf7 ("mm/hugetlb: do pre-HVO for bootmem allocated
pages") already applies early HVO to bootmem-allocated huge pages, this
patch extends the same benefit to non-bootmem pages by incrementally
submitting them for HVO as they are allocated, thereby returning
struct-page memory to the buddy allocator in real time. The change raises
the maximum 2 MiB hugepage reservation from just under 376 GB to more than
381 GB on a 384 GB x86 VM.

commit 59d9094df3d79 ("mm: hugetlb: independent PMD page table shared
count") introduced ->pt_share_count dedicated to hugetlb PMD share count
tracking, but omitted fixing copy_hugetlb_page_range(), leaving the
function relying on page_count() for tracking that no longer works.
When lazy page table copy for hugetlb is disabled, that is, revert commit
bcd51a3c679d ("hugetlb: lazy page table copies in fork()") fork()'ing with
hugetlb PMD sharing quickly lockup -
