Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock

It is generally safe to handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock. The
only time this is unsafe is when no anon_vma has been allocated to this
vma yet, so we can use vmf_anon_prepare() instead of anon_vma_prepare()
to bailout if necessary. This should only happen for the first hugetlb
page in the vma.

Additionally, this patchset begins to use struct vm_fault within
hugetlb_fault(). This works towards cleaning up hugetlb code, and should
significantly reduce the number of arguments passed to functions.

-----
The last patch in this series may cause ltp hugemmap10 to "fail". This
is because vmf_anon_prepare() may bailout with no anon_vma under the VMA
lock after allocating a folio for the hugepage. In free_huge_folio(),
this folio is completely freed on bailout iff there is a surplus of
hugetlb pages. This will remove a folio off the freelist and decrement
the number of hugepages while ltp expects these counters to remain
unchanged on failure. The rest of the ltp testcases pass.

v2:
  - Removed unnecessary variables and indentations
  - Declare struct vm_fault in hugetlb_fault and pass it down as an
  argument instead of defining it in each called function.
  - Moved vmf_anon_prepare() declaration to mm/internal.h from
  include/linux/hugetlb.h


Vishal Moola (Oracle) (5):
  mm/memory: Change vmf_anon_prepare() to be non-static
  hugetlb: Move vm_struct declaration to the top of hugetlb_fault()
  hugetlb: Pass struct vm_fault through to hugetlb_handle_userfault()
  hugetlb: Use vmf_anon_prepare() instead of anon_vma_prepare()
  hugetlb: Allow faults to be handled under the VMA lock
