mm/hugetlb: fix incorrect error return from hugetlb_reserve_pages()
The function hugetlb_reserve_pages() returns the number of pages added
to the reservation map on success and a negative error code on failure
(e.g. -EINVAL, -ENOMEM). However, in some error paths, it may return -1
directly.
For example, a failure at:
if (hugetlb_acct_memory(h, gbl_reserve) < 0)
goto out_put_pages;
results in returning -1 (since add = -1), which may be misinterpreted
in userspace as -EPERM.
Fix this by explicitly capturing and propagating the return values from
helper functions, and using -EINVAL for all other failure cases.

mm/huge_memory: change folio_split_supported() to folio_check_splittable()
Patch series "Improve folio split related functions", v4.
This patchset improves several folio split related functions to avoid
future misuse. The changes are:
1. Consolidated folio splittable checks by moving truncated folio check,
huge zero folio check, and writeback folio check into
folio_split_supported(). Changed the function return type. Renamed it
to folio_check_splittable() for clarification.
2. Replaced can_split_folio() with open coded folio_expected_ref_count()
and folio_ref_count() and introduced folio_cache_ref_count().
3. Changed min_order_for_split() to always return an order.
4. Fixed folio split stats counting.
Motivation
==========
This is based on Wei's observation[1] and solves several potential
issues:
1. Dereferencing NULL folio->mapping in try_folio_split_to_order() if it
is called on truncated folios.
2. Not handling of negative return value of min_order_for_split() in
mm/memory-failure.c
There is no bug in the current code.
This patch (of 4):
folio_split_supported() used in try_folio_split_to_order() requires
folio->mapping to be non NULL, but current try_folio_split_to_order() does
not check it. There is no issue in the current code, since
try_folio_split_to_order() is only used in truncate_inode_partial_folio(),
where folio->mapping is not NULL.
To prevent future misuse, move folio->mapping NULL check (i.e., folio is
truncated) into folio_split_supported(). Since folio->mapping NULL check
returns -EBUSY and folio_split_supported() == false means -EINVAL, change
folio_split_supported() return type from bool to int and return error
numbers accordingly. Rename folio_split_supported() to
folio_check_splittable() to match the return type change.
While at it, move is_huge_zero_folio() check and folio_test_writeback()
check into folio_check_splittable() and add kernel-doc.
Remove all warnings inside folio_check_splittable() and give warnings
in __folio_split() instead, so that bool warns parameter can be removed.

This series fixes a potential list iteration issue in swap_sync_discard()

This patch (of 2):
When the next node is removed from the plist (e.g. by swapoff),
plist_del() makes the node point to itself, causing the iteration to loop
on the same entry indefinitely.
Add a plist_node_empty() check to detect this case and restart iteration,
allowing swap_sync_discard() to continue processing remaining swap devices
that still have pending discard entries.
Additionally, switch from swap_avail_lock/swap_avail_head to
swap_lock/swap_active_head so that iteration is only affected by swapoff
operations rather than frequent availability changes, reducing exceptional
condition checks and lock contention.

This is only necessary when CONFIG_KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS is enabled, as this

The notifier uses maximum priority (INT_MAX) to ensure KFENCE shuts down

mm: introduce VMA flags bitmap type
It is useful to transition to using a bitmap for VMA flags so we can avoid
running out of flags, especially for 32-bit kernels which are constrained
to 32 flags, necessitating some features to be limited to 64-bit kernels
only.
By doing so, we remove any constraint on the number of VMA flags moving
forwards no matter the platform and can decide in future to extend beyond
64 if required.
We start by declaring an opaque types, vma_flags_t (which resembles
mm_struct flags of type mm_flags_t), setting it to precisely the same size
as vm_flags_t, and place it in union with vm_flags in the VMA declaration.
We additionally update struct vm_area_desc equivalently placing the new
opaque type in union with vm_flags.
This change therefore does not impact the size of struct vm_area_struct or
struct vm_area_desc.
In order for the change to be iterative and to avoid impacting
performance, we designate VM_xxx declared bitmap flag values as those
which must exist in the first system word of the VMA flags bitmap.
We therefore declare vma_flags_clear_all(), vma_flags_overwrite_word(),
vma_flags_overwrite_word(), vma_flags_overwrite_word_once(),
vma_flags_set_word() and vma_flags_clear_word() in order to allow us to
update the existing vm_flags_*() functions to utilise these helpers.
This is a stepping stone towards converting users to the VMA flags bitmap
and behaves precisely as before.
By doing this, we can eliminate the existing private vma->__vm_flags field
in the vma->vm_flags union and replace it with the newly introduced opaque
type vma_flags, which we call flags so we refer to the new bitmap field as
vma->flags.
We update vma_flag_[test, set]_atomic() to account for the change also.
We adapt vm_flags_reset_once() to only clear those bits above the first
system word providing write-once semantics to the first system word (which
it is presumed the caller requires - and in all current use cases this is
so).
As we currently only specify that the VMA flags bitmap size is equal to
BITS_PER_LONG number of bits, this is a noop, but is defensive in
preparation for a future change that increases this.
We additionally update the VMA userland test declarations to implement the
same changes there.
Finally, we update the rust code to reference vma->vm_flags on update
rather than vma->__vm_flags which has been removed. This is safe for now,
albeit it is implicitly performing a const cast.
Once we introduce flag helpers we can improve this more.
No functional change intended.

mm: declare VMA flags by bit
Patch series "initial work on making VMA flags a bitmap", v3.
We are in the rather silly situation that we are running out of VMA flags
as they are currently limited to a system word in size.
This leads to absurd situations where we limit features to 64-bit
architectures only because we simply do not have the ability to add a flag
for 32-bit ones.
This is very constraining and leads to hacks or, in the worst case, simply
an inability to implement features we want for entirely arbitrary reasons.
This also of course gives us something of a Y2K type situation in mm where
we might eventually exhaust all of the VMA flags even on 64-bit systems.
This series lays the groundwork for getting away from this limitation by
establishing VMA flags as a bitmap whose size we can increase in future
beyond 64 bits if required.
This is necessarily a highly iterative process given the extensive use of
VMA flags throughout the kernel, so we start by performing basic steps.
Firstly, we declare VMA flags by bit number rather than by value,
retaining the VM_xxx fields but in terms of these newly introduced
VMA_xxx_BIT fields.
While we are here, we use sparse annotations to ensure that, when dealing
with VMA bit number parameters, we cannot be passed values which are not
declared as such - providing some useful type safety.
We then introduce an opaque VMA flag type, much like the opaque mm_struct
flag type introduced in commit bb6525f2f8c4 ("mm: add bitmap mm->flags
field"), which we establish in union with vma->vm_flags (but still set at
system word size meaning there is no functional or data type size change).
We update the vm_flags_xxx() helpers to use this new bitmap, introducing
sensible helpers to do so.
This series lays the foundation for further work to expand the use of
bitmap VMA flags and eventually eliminate these arbitrary restrictions.
This patch (of 4):
In order to lay the groundwork for VMA flags being a bitmap rather than a
system word in size, we need to be able to consistently refer to VMA flags
by bit number rather than value.
Take this opportunity to do so in an enum which we which is additionally
useful for tooling to extract metadata from.
This additionally makes it very clear which bits are being used for what
at a glance.
We use the VMA_ prefix for the bit values as it is logical to do so since
these reference VMAs. We consistently suffix with _BIT to make it clear
what the values refer to.
We declare bit values even when the flags that use them would not be
enabled by config options as this is simply clearer and clearly defines
what bit numbers are used for what, at no additional cost.
We declare a sparse-bitwise type vma_flag_t which ensures that users can't
pass around invalid VMA flags by accident and prepares for future work
towards VMA flags being a bitmap where we want to ensure bit values are
type safe.
To make life easier, we declare some macro helpers - DECLARE_VMA_BIT()
allows us to avoid duplication in the enum bit number declarations (and
maintaining the sparse __bitwise attribute), and INIT_VM_FLAG() is used to
assist with declaration of flags.
Unfortunately we can't declare both in the enum, as we run into issue with
logic in the kernel requiring that flags are preprocessor definitions, and
additionally we cannot have a macro which declares another macro so we
must define each flag macro directly.
Additionally, update the VMA userland testing vma_internal.h header to
include these changes.
We also have to fix the parameters to the vma_flag_*_atomic() functions
since VMA_MAYBE_GUARD_BIT is now of type vma_flag_t and sparse will
complain otherwise.
We have to update some rather silly if-deffery found in mm/task_mmu.c
which would otherwise break.
Finally, we update the rust binding helper as now it cannot auto-detect
the flags at all.

mm/page_alloc: optimize lowmem_reserve max lookup using its semantic monotonicity
calculate_totalreserve_pages() currently finds the maximum
lowmem_reserve[j] for a zone by scanning the full forward range [j =
zone_idx .. MAX_NR_ZONES). However, for a given zone i, the
lowmem_reserve[j] array (for j > i) is naturally expected to form a
monotonically non-decreasing sequence in j, not as an implementation
detail, but as a consequence that naturally arises from the semantics of
lowmem_reserve[].
For zone "i", lowmem_reserve[j] expresses how many pages in zone i must
effectively be kept in reserve when deciding whether an allocation class
that may allocate from zones up to j is allowed to fall back into i. It
protects less flexible allocation classes (which cannot use higher zones)
from being starved by more flexible ones.
Viewed from this semantics, it is natural to expect a partial ordering in
j: as j increases, the allocation class gains access to a strictly larger
set of fallback zones. Therefore lowmem_reserve[j] is expected to be
monotonically non-decreasing in j: more flexible allocation classes must
not be allowed to deplete low zones more aggressively than less flexible
ones.
In other words, if lowmem_reserve[j] were ever observed to *decrease* as j
grows, that would be unexpected from the reserve semantics' point of view
and would likely indicate a semantic change or a misconfiguration.
The current implementation in setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() reflects
this policy by accumulating managed pages from higher zones and applying
the configured ratio, which results in a non-decreasing sequence. This
patch makes calculate_totalreserve_pages() rely on that monotonicity
explicitly and finds the maximum reserve value by scanning backward and
stopping at the first non-zero entry. This avoids unnecessary iteration
and reflects the conceptual model more directly. No functional behavior
changes.
To maintain this assumption explicitly, a comment is added next to
setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() documenting the monotonicity expectation
and noting that calculate_totalreserve_pages() relies on it.

mm/vmscan: skip increasing kswapd_failures when reclaim was boosted
We have a colocation cluster used for deploying both offline and online
services simultaneously. In this environment, we encountered a
scenario where direct memory reclamation was triggered due to kswapd
not running.
1. When applications start up, rapidly consume memory, or experience
network traffic bursts, the kernel reaches steal_suitable_fallback(),
which sets watermark_boost and subsequently wakes kswapd.
2. In the core logic of kswapd thread (balance_pgdat()), when reclaim is
triggered by watermark_boost, the maximum priority is 10. Higher
priority values mean less aggressive LRU scanning, which can result in
no pages being reclaimed during a single scan cycle:
3. Additionally, many of our pods are configured with memory.low, which
prevents memory reclamation in certain cgroups, further increasing the
chance of failing to reclaim memory.
4. This eventually causes pgdat->kswapd_failures to continuously
accumulate, exceeding MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES, and consequently kswapd
stops working. At this point, the system's available memory is still
significantly above the high watermark -- it's inappropriate for kswapd
to stop under these conditions.
The final observable issue is that a brief period of rapid memory
allocation causes kswapd to stop running, ultimately triggering direct
reclaim and making the applications unresponsive.
This problem leading to direct memory reclamation has been a
long-standing issue in our production environment. We initially held
the simple assumption that it was caused by applications allocating
memory too rapidly for kswapd to keep up with reclamation. However,
after we began monitoring kswapd's runtime behavior, we discovered a
different pattern:
kswapd initially exhibits very aggressive activity even when there is
still considerable free memory, but it subsequently stops running
entirely, even as memory levels approach the low watermark.
In summary, both boosted watermarks and memory.low increase the
probability of kswapd operation failures.
This patch specifically addresses the scenario involving boosted
watermarks by not incrementing kswapd_failures when reclamation fails.
A more general solution, potentially addressing memory.low or other
cases, requires further discussion.

zram: fix the issue that the write - back limits might overflow
When the page size exceeds 4KB, if bd_wb_limit is set to a value that is
not aligned with the page size, it will cause a numerical wrap-around
issue for bd_wb_limit. For example, when the page size is set to 16KB and
bd_wb_limit is set to 3, after one write-back operation, the value of
bd_wb_limit will become -1. More seriously, since bd_wb_limit is an
unsigned number, its value may become as large as 2^64 - 1.
The core reason for this problem is that the unit of bd_wb_limit is 4KB.
For example, when a write-back occurs on a system with a page size of
16KB, 4 needs to be subtracted from bd_wb_limit. This operation takes
place in the zram_account_writeback_submit function.
This patch fixes the issue by limiting bd_wb_limit to be an integer
multiple of PAGE_SIZE / 4096.

we have a kernel-doc for __vmalloc_node_range(), and hope callers pass in

BUG, silently clear it, or completely ignore it.
If we are more proactive about enforcing gfp flags, we can making sure
callers know when they may be asking for unsupported behavior.
This patchset lets vmalloc control the incoming gfp flags, and cleans up
some hard to read gfp code.
This patch (of 4):
Vmalloc explicitly supports a list of flags, but we never enforce them.
vmalloc has been trying to handle unsupported flags by clearing and
setting flags wherever necessary. This is messy and makes the code harder
to understand, when we could simply check for a supported input
immediately instead.
Define a helper mask and function telling callers they have passed in
invalid flags, and clear those unsupported vmalloc flags.

simultaneously.
This patch (of 6):
As was stated in a comment [1] a single page writeback IO is not
efficient, but it works. It's time to address this throughput limitation
as writeback becomes used more often. Introduce batched (multiple) bio
writeback support to take advantage of parallel requests processing and
better requests scheduling.
Approach used in this patch doesn't use a dedicated kthread like in [2],
or blk-plug like in [3]. Dedicated kthread adds complexity, which can be
avoided. Apart from that not all zram setups use writeback, so having
numerous per-device kthreads (on systems that create multiple zram
devices) hanging around is not the most optimal thing to do. blk-plug, on
the other hand, works best when request are sequential, which doesn't
particularly fit zram writebck IO patterns: zram writeback IO patterns are
expected to be random, due to how bdev block reservation/release are
handled. blk-plug approach also works in cycles: idle IO, when zram sets
up requests in a batch, is followed by bursts of IO, when zram submits the
entire batch.
Instead we use a batch of requests and submit new bio as soon as one of
the in-flight requests completes.
For the time being the writeback batch size (maximum number of in-flight
bio requests) is set to 32 for all devices. A follow up patch adds a
writeback_batch_size device attribute, so the batch size becomes run-time
configurable.

mm/khugepaged: remove redundant clearing of struct collapse_control
Patch series "unify PMD scan results and remove redundant cleanup", v2.
This small series addresses two minor cleanup opportunities in the
hugepage collapse logic.
The initial motivation arose during a code review of madvise_collapse(),
where it was noted that the function was missing a handler for
SCAN_PMD_NONE. This oversight exposed the inconsistent handling of
SCAN_PMD_NULL and SCAN_PMD_NONE.
Since both scan results are functionally identical (they indicate the
absence of a PTE table), the primary patch unifies them into a single,
clearer identifier, SCAN_NO_PTE_TABLE.
The series also takes the opportunity to remove a redundant clearing of
the struct collapse_control.
This patch (of 3):
The structure struct collapse_control is being unnecessarily cleared twice
during the huge page collapse process.
Both hpage_collapse_scan_file() and hpage_collapse_scan_pmd() currently
perform a clear operation on this structure.
Remove the redundant clear operation.

mm: thp: use folio_batch to handle THP splitting in deferred_split_scan()
The maintenance of the folio->_deferred_list is intricate because it's
reused in a local list.
Here are some peculiarities:
1) When a folio is removed from its split queue and added to a local
on-stack list in deferred_split_scan(), the ->split_queue_len isn't
updated, leading to an inconsistency between it and the actual
number of folios in the split queue.
2) When the folio is split via split_folio() later, it's removed from
the local list while holding the split queue lock. At this time,
the lock is not needed as it is not protecting anything.
3) To handle the race condition with a third-party freeing or migrating
the preceding folio, we must ensure there's always one safe (with
raised refcount) folio before by delaying its folio_put(). More
details can be found in commit e66f3185fa04 ("mm/thp: fix deferred
split queue not partially_mapped"). It's rather tricky.
We can use the folio_batch infrastructure to handle this clearly. In this
case, ->split_queue_len will be consistent with the real number of folios
in the split queue. If list_empty(&folio->_deferred_list) returns false,
it's clear the folio must be in its split queue (not in a local list
anymore).
In the future, we will reparent LRU folios during memcg offline to
eliminate dying memory cgroups, which requires reparenting the split queue
to its parent first. So this patch prepares for using
folio_split_queue_lock_irqsave() as the memcg may change then.

mm: remove remaining is_swap_pmd() users and is_swap_pmd()
Update copy_huge_pmd() and change_huge_pmd() to use
pmd_is_valid_softleaf() - as this checks for the only valid non-present
huge PMD states.
Also update mm/debug_vm_pgtable.c to explicitly test for a valid leaf PMD
entry (which it was not before, which was incorrect), and have it test
against pmd_is_huge() and pmd_is_valid_softleaf() rather than
is_swap_pmd().
With these changes done there are no further users of is_swap_pmd(), so
remove it.

mm: introduce pmd_is_huge() and use where appropriate
The leaf entry PMD case is confusing as only migration entries and device
private entries are valid at PMD level, not true swap entries.
We repeatedly perform checks of the form is_swap_pmd() || pmd_trans_huge()
which is itself confusing - it implies that leaf entries at PMD level
exist and are different from huge entries.
Address this confusion by introduced pmd_is_huge() which checks for either
case. Sadly due to header dependency issues (huge_mm.h is included very
early on in headers and cannot really rely on much else) we cannot use
pmd_is_valid_softleaf() here.
However since these are the only valid, handled cases the function is
still achieving what it intends to do.
We then replace all instances of is_swap_pmd() || pmd_trans_huge() with
pmd_is_huge() invocations and adjust logic accordingly to accommodate
this.

CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION blocks in code.
This is exhibited in copy_huge_pmd(), which inserts a large #ifdef
CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION block and an if-branch which is difficult
to follow
It's difficult to follow the logic of such a large function and the

mm: avoid unnecessary use of is_swap_pmd()
PMD 'non-swap' swap entries are currently used for PMD-level migration
entries and device private entries.
To add to the confusion in this terminology we use is_swap_pmd() in an
inconsistent way similar to how is_swap_pte() was being used - sometimes
adopting the convention that !pmd_none(), !pmd_present() implies PMD 'swap'
entry, sometimes not.
This patch handles the low-hanging fruit of cases where we can simply
substitute other predicates for is_swap_pmd().

mm: avoid unnecessary uses of is_swap_pte()
There's an established convention in the kernel that we treat PTEs as
containing swap entries (and the unfortunately named non-swap swap
entries) should they be neither empty (i.e. pte_none() evaluating true)
nor present (i.e. pte_present() evaluating true).
However, there is some inconsistency in how this is applied, as we also
have the is_swap_pte() helper which explicitly performs this check:
/* check whether a pte points to a swap entry */
static inline int is_swap_pte(pte_t pte)
{
return !pte_none(pte) && !pte_present(pte);
}
As this represents a predicate, and it's logical to assume that in order
to establish that a PTE entry can correctly be manipulated as a
swap/non-swap entry, this predicate seems as if it must first be checked.
But we instead, we far more often utilise the established convention of
checking pte_none() / pte_present() before operating on entries as if they
were swap/non-swap.
This patch works towards correcting this inconsistency by removing all
uses of is_swap_pte() where we are already in a position where we perform
pte_none()/pte_present() checks anyway or otherwise it is clearly logical
to do so.
We also take advantage of the fact that pte_swp_uffd_wp() is only set on
swap entries.
Additionally, update comments referencing to is_swap_pte() and
non_swap_entry().

mm: introduce leaf entry type and use to simplify leaf entry logic
The kernel maintains leaf page table entries which contain either:
The kernel maintains leaf page table entries which contain either:
- Nothing ('none' entries)
- Present entries*
- Everything else that will cause a fault which the kernel handles
* Present entries are either entries the hardware can navigate without page
fault or special cases like NUMA hint protnone or PMD with cleared
present bit which contain hardware-valid entries modulo the present bit.
In the 'everything else' group we include swap entries, but we also
include a number of other things such as migration entries, device private
entries and marker entries.
Unfortunately this 'everything else' group expresses everything through a
swp_entry_t type, and these entries are referred to swap entries even
though they may well not contain a... swap entry.
This is compounded by the rather mind-boggling concept of a non-swap swap
entry (checked via non_swap_entry()) and the means by which we twist and
turn to satisfy this.
This patch lays the foundation for reducing this confusion.
We refer to 'everything else' as a 'software-define leaf entry' or
'softleaf'. for short And in fact we scoop up the 'none' entries into
this concept also so we are left with:
- Present entries.
- Softleaf entries (which may be empty).
This allows for radical simplification across the board - one can simply
convert any leaf page table entry to a leaf entry via softleaf_from_pte().
If the entry is present, we return an empty leaf entry, so it is assumed
the caller is aware that they must differentiate between the two
categories of page table entries, checking for the former via
pte_present().
As a result, we can eliminate a number of places where we would otherwise
need to use predicates to see if we can proceed with leaf page table entry
conversion and instead just go ahead and do it unconditionally.
We do so where we can, adjusting surrounding logic as necessary to
integrate the new softleaf_t logic as far as seems reasonable at this
stage.
We typedef swp_entry_t to softleaf_t for the time being until the
conversion can be complete, meaning everything remains compatible
regardless of which type is used. We will eventually remove swp_entry_t
when the conversion is complete.
We introduce a new header file to keep things clear - leafops.h - this
imports swapops.h so can direct replace swapops imports without issue, and
we do so in all the files that require it.
Additionally, add new leafops.h file to core mm maintainers entry.

There's an established convention in the kernel that we treat leaf page
tables (so far at the PTE, PMD level) as containing 'swap entries' should
they be neither empty (i.e. p**_none() evaluating true) nor present (i.e.
p**_present() evaluating true).
However, at the same time we also have helper predicates - is_swap_pte(),
is_swap_pmd() - which are inconsistently used.
This is problematic, as it is logical to assume that should somebody wish
to operate upon a page table swap entry they should first check to see if
it is in fact one.
It also implies that perhaps, in future, we might introduce a non-present,
none page table entry that is not a swap entry.
This series resolves this issue by systematically eliminating all use of
the is_swap_pte() and is swap_pmd() predicates so we retain only the
convention that should a leaf page table entry be neither none nor present
it is a swap entry.
We also have the further issue that 'swap entry' is unfortunately a really
rather overloaded term and in fact refers to both entries for swap and for
other information such as migration entries, page table markers, and
device private entries.
We therefore have the rather 'unique' concept of a 'non-swap' swap entry.
This series therefore introduces the concept of 'software leaf entries',
of type softleaf_t, to eliminate this confusion.
A software leaf entry in this sense is any page table entry which is
non-present, and represented by the softleaf_t type. That is - page table
leaf entries which are software-controlled by the kernel.
This includes 'none' or empty entries, which are simply represented by an
zero leaf entry value.
In order to maintain compatibility as we transition the kernel to this new
type, we simply typedef swp_entry_t to softleaf_t.
We introduce a number of predicates and helpers to interact with software
leaf entries in include/linux/leafops.h which, as it imports swapops.h,
can be treated as a drop-in replacement for swapops.h wherever leaf entry
helpers are used.
Since softleaf_from_[pte, pmd]() treats present entries as they were
empty/none leaf entries, this allows for a great deal of simplification of
code throughout the code base, which this series utilises a great deal.
We additionally change from swap entry to software leaf entry handling
where it makes sense to and eliminate functions from swapops.h where
software leaf entries obviate the need for the functions.
This patch (of 16):
PTE markers were previously only concerned with UFFD-specific logic - that
is, PTE entries with the UFFD WP marker set or those marked via
UFFDIO_POISON.
However since the introduction of guard markers in commit 7c53dfbdb024
("mm: add PTE_MARKER_GUARD PTE marker"), this has no longer been the case.
Issues have been avoided as guard regions are not permitted in conjunction
with UFFD, but it still leaves very confusing logic in place, most notably
the misleading and poorly named pte_none_mostly() and
huge_pte_none_mostly().
This predicate returns true for PTE entries that ought to be treated as
none, but only in certain circumstances, and on the assumption we are
dealing with H/W poison markers or UFFD WP markers.
This patch removes these functions and makes each invocation of these
functions instead explicitly check what it needs to check.
As part of this effort it introduces is_uffd_pte_marker() to explicitly
determine if a marker in fact is used as part of UFFD or not.
In the HMM logic we note that the only time we would need to check for a
fault is in the case of a UFFD WP marker, otherwise we simply encounter a
fault error (VM_FAULT_HWPOISON for H/W poisoned marker, VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV
for a guard marker), so only check for the UFFD WP case.
While we're here we also refactor code to make it easier to understand.

mm/huge_memory: merge uniform_split_supported() and non_uniform_split_supported()
uniform_split_supported() and non_uniform_split_supported() share
significantly similar logic.
The only functional difference is that uniform_split_supported() includes
an additional check on the requested @new_order.
The reason for this check comes from the following two aspects:
* some file system or swap cache just supports order-0 folio
* the behavioral difference between uniform/non-uniform split
The behavioral difference between uniform split and non-uniform:
* uniform split splits folio directly to @new_order
* non-uniform split creates after-split folios with orders from
folio_order(folio) - 1 to new_order.
This means for non-uniform split or !new_order split we should check the
file system and swap cache respectively.
This commit unifies the logic and merge the two functions into a single
combined helper, removing redundant code and simplifying the split
support checking mechanism.

mm/memory-failure: improve large block size folio handling
Large block size (LBS) folios cannot be split to order-0 folios but
min_order_for_folio(). Current split fails directly, but that is not
optimal. Split the folio to min_order_for_folio(), so that, after split,
only the folio containing the poisoned page becomes unusable instead.
For soft offline, do not split the large folio if its
min_order_for_folio() is not 0. Since the folio is still accessible from
userspace and premature split might lead to potential performance loss.

mm/huge_memory: add split_huge_page_to_order()
Patch series "Optimize folio split in memory failure", v5.
This patchset optimizes folio split operations in memory failure code by
always splitting a folio to min_order_for_split() to minimize unusable
pages, even if min_order_for_split() is non zero and memory failure code
would take the failed path eventually for a successfully split folio.
This means instead of making the entire original folio unusable memory
failure code would only make its after-split folio, which has order of
min_order_for_split() and contains HWPoison page, unusable.
For soft offline case, since the original folio is still accessible, no
split is performed if the folio cannot be split to order-0 to prevent
potential performance loss.
In addition, add split_huge_page_to_order() to improve code readability
and fix kernel-doc comment format for folio_split() and other related
functions.
Background
==========
This patchset is a follow-up of "[PATCH v3] mm/huge_memory: do not change
split_huge_page*() target order silently."[1] and [PATCH v4]
mm/huge_memory: preserve PG_has_hwpoisoned if a folio is split to >0
order[2], since both are separated out as hotfixes. It improves how
memory failure code handles large block size(LBS) folios with
min_order_for_split() > 0. By splitting a large folio containing HW
poisoned pages to min_order_for_split(), the after-split folios without HW
poisoned pages could be freed for reuse. To achieve this, folio split
code needs to set has_hwpoisoned on after-split folios containing HW
poisoned pages and it is done in the hotfix in [2].
This patchset includes:
1. A patch adds split_huge_page_to_order(),
2. Patch 2 and Patch 3 of "[PATCH v2 0/3] Do not change split folio target
order"[3],
This patch (of 3):
When the caller does not supply a list to
split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(), use split_huge_page_to_order()
instead.
