We have a folio_copy(), but it feels to me like we need a
folio_copy_user() so that we can use copy_user_page() on machines
with virtual caches.

Hi Matthew,

In the snippet:

page = alloc_huge_page(dst_vma, dst_addr, 0);
if (IS_ERR(page)) {
	put_page(*pagep);
	ret = -ENOMEM;
	*pagep = NULL;
	goto out;
}
copy_user_huge_page(page, *pagep, dst_addr, dst_vma,
		pages_per_huge_page(h));

I thought the IS_ERR() call does not handle the NULL case and is a check for high memory addresses, and copy_user_huge_page() path does not seem to handle the NULL case as well but alloc_huge_page() can possibly return NULL so I was unsure about how to handle the folio conversion.

I suggest that "page" can never be NULL or __SetPageUptodate() would
have crashed.
