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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
