Subject: mm/gup: fix memfd_pin_folios hugetlb page allocation
Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2024 07:25:20 -0700
When memfd_pin_folios -> memfd_alloc_folio creates a hugetlb page, the
index is wrong. The subsequent call to filemap_get_folios_contig thus
cannot find it, and fails, and memfd_pin_folios loops forever. To fix,
adjust the index for the huge_page_order.
memfd_alloc_folio also forgets to unlock the folio, so the next touch of
the page calls hugetlb_fault which blocks forever trying to take the lock.
Unlock it.
