The patch titled Subject: hugetlb: use vmf_anon_prepare() instead of anon_vma_prepare() has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is hugetlb-use-vmf_anon_prepare-instead-of-anon_vma_prepare.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/hugetlb-use-vmf_anon_prepare-instead-of-anon_vma_prepare.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Vishal Moola (Oracle)" <vishal.moola@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: hugetlb: use vmf_anon_prepare() instead of anon_vma_prepare() Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2024 15:47:31 -0800 hugetlb_no_page() and hugetlb_wp() call anon_vma_prepare(). In preparation for hugetlb to safely handle faults under the VMA lock, use vmf_anon_prepare() here instead. Additionally, passing hugetlb_wp() the vm_fault struct from hugetlb_fault() works toward cleaning up the hugetlb code and function stack.
