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'm not sure how alloc_huge_page() can return NULL.  It seems like it
returns ERR_PTR(-ENOSPC) or ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) if it cannot allocate memory?

I see now, I agree that page cannot be NULL at the return from alloc_huge_page, I will make that change in v2.

Thanks,
Sidhartha Kumar
