Subject: hugetlb: revert use of page_cache_next_miss()
From: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit fd4aed8d985a3236d0877ff6d0c80ad39d4ce81a upstream.
Ackerley Tng reported an issue with hugetlbfs fallocate as noted in the
Closes tag. The issue showed up after the conversion of hugetlb page
cache lookup code to use page_cache_next_miss. User visible effects are:
- hugetlbfs fallocate incorrectly returns -EEXIST if pages are presnet
in the file.
- hugetlb pages will not be included in core dumps if they need to be
brought in via GUP.
- userfaultfd UFFDIO_COPY will not notice pages already present in the
cache. It may try to allocate a new page and potentially return
ENOMEM as opposed to EEXIST.
Revert the use page_cache_next_miss() in hugetlb code.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR STABLE BACKPORTS:
This patch will apply cleanly to v6.3. However, due to the change of
filemap_get_folio() return values, it will not function correctly. This
patch must be modified for stable backports.
