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.
