Subject: hugetlb: perform vmemmap restoration on a list of pages
Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2023 16:48:32 -0700
The routine update_and_free_pages_bulk already performs vmemmap
restoration on the list of hugetlb pages in a separate step. In
preparation for more functionality to be added in this step, create a new
routine hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios() that will restore vmemmap for a
list of folios.
This new routine must provide sufficient feedback about errors and actual
restoration performed so that update_and_free_pages_bulk can perform
optimally.
Special care must be taken when encountering an error from
hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios. We want to continue making as much
forward progress as possible. A new routine bulk_vmemmap_restore_error
handles this specific situation.
