Ackerley Tng reported an issue with hugetlbfs fallocate here[1].  The
issue showed up after the conversion of hugetlb page cache lookup code to
use page_cache_next_miss.  Code in hugetlb fallocate, userfaultfd and GUP
is now using page_cache_next_miss to determine if a page is present the
page cache.  The following statement is used.

	present = page_cache_next_miss(mapping, index, 1) != index;

There are two issues with page_cache_next_miss when used in this way.
1) If the passed value for index is equal to the 'wrap-around' value,
   the same index will always be returned.  This wrap-around value is 0,
   so 0 will be returned even if page is present at index 0.
2) If there is no gap in the range passed, the last index in the range
   will be returned.  When passed a range of 1 as above, the passed
   index value will be returned even if the page is present.
The end result is the statement above will NEVER indicate a page is
present in the cache, even if it is.

As noted by Ackerley in [1], users can see this by hugetlb fallocate
incorrectly returning EEXIST if pages are already present in the file.  In
addition, hugetlb pages will not be included in core dumps if they need to
be brought in via GUP.  userfaultfd UFFDIO_COPY also uses this code and
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.

Both page_cache_next_miss and page_cache_prev_miss have similar issues.
Fix by:
- Check for index equal to 'wrap-around' value and do not exit early.
- If no gap is found in range, return index outside range.
- Update function description to say 'wrap-around' value could be
  returned if passed as index.

Instead of returning NULL for all errors, distinguish between:

 - no entry found and not asked to allocated (-ENOENT)
 - failed to allocate memory (-ENOMEM)
 - would block (-EAGAIN)

so that callers don't have to guess the error based on the passed in
flags.

Also pass through the error through the direct callers: filemap_get_folio,
filemap_lock_folio filemap_grab_folio and filemap_get_incore_folio.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Daniel Verkamp has contributed a memfd series ("mm/memfd: add
   F_SEAL_EXEC") which permits the setting of the memfd execute bit at
   memfd creation time, with the option of sealing the state of the X
   bit.

 - Peter Xu adds a patch series ("mm/hugetlb: Make huge_pte_offset()
   thread-safe for pmd unshare") which addresses a rare race condition
   related to PMD unsharing.

 - Several folioification patch serieses from Matthew Wilcox, Vishal
   Moola, Sidhartha Kumar and Lorenzo Stoakes

 - Johannes Weiner has a series ("mm: push down lock_page_memcg()")
   which does perform some memcg maintenance and cleanup work.

 - SeongJae Park has added DAMOS filtering to DAMON, with the series
   "mm/damon/core: implement damos filter".

   These filters provide users with finer-grained control over DAMOS's
   actions. SeongJae has also done some DAMON cleanup work.

 - Kairui Song adds a series ("Clean up and fixes for swap").

 - Vernon Yang contributed the series "Clean up and refinement for maple
   tree".

 - Yu Zhao has contributed the "mm: multi-gen LRU: memcg LRU" series. It
   adds to MGLRU an LRU of memcgs, to improve the scalability of global
   reclaim.

 - David Hildenbrand has added some userfaultfd cleanup work in the
   series "mm: uffd-wp + change_protection() cleanups".

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed the generic_writepages() library
   function in the series "remove generic_writepages".

 - Baolin Wang has performed some maintenance on the compaction code in
   his series "Some small improvements for compaction".

 - Sidhartha Kumar is doing some maintenance work on struct page in his
   series "Get rid of tail page fields".

 - David Hildenbrand contributed some cleanup, bugfixing and
   generalization of pte management and of pte debugging in his series
   "mm: support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE on all architectures with
   swap PTEs".

 - Mel Gorman and Neil Brown have removed the __GFP_ATOMIC allocation
   flag in the series "Discard __GFP_ATOMIC".

 - Sergey Senozhatsky has improved zsmalloc's memory utilization with
   his series "zsmalloc: make zspage chain size configurable".

 - Joey Gouly has added prctl() support for prohibiting the creation of
   writeable+executable mappings.

   The previous BPF-based approach had shortcomings. See "mm: In-kernel
   support for memory-deny-write-execute (MDWE)".

 - Waiman Long did some kmemleak cleanup and bugfixing in the series
   "mm/kmemleak: Simplify kmemleak_cond_resched() &amp; fix UAF".

 - T.J. Alumbaugh has contributed some MGLRU cleanup work in his series
   "mm: multi-gen LRU: improve".

 - Jiaqi Yan has provided some enhancements to our memory error
   statistics reporting, mainly by presenting the statistics on a
   per-node basis. See the series "Introduce per NUMA node memory error
   statistics".

 - Mel Gorman has a second and hopefully final shot at fixing a CPU-hog
   regression in compaction via his series "Fix excessive CPU usage
   during compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig does some vmalloc maintenance work in the series
   "cleanup vfree and vunmap".

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed block_device_operations.rw_page() in
   ths series "remove -&gt;rw_page".

 - We get some maple_tree improvements and cleanups in Liam Howlett's
   series "VMA tree type safety and remove __vma_adjust()".

 - Suren Baghdasaryan has done some work on the maintainability of our
   vm_flags handling in the series "introduce vm_flags modifier
   functions".

 - Some pagemap cleanup and generalization work in Mike Rapoport's
   series "mm, arch: add generic implementation of pfn_valid() for
   FLATMEM" and "fixups for generic implementation of pfn_valid()"

 - Baoquan He has done some work to make /proc/vmallocinfo and
   /proc/kcore better represent the real state of things in his series
   "mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas".

 - Jason Gunthorpe rationalized the GUP system's interface to the rest
   of the kernel in the series "Simplify the external interface for
   GUP".

 - SeongJae Park wishes to migrate people from DAMON's debugfs interface
   over to its sysfs interface. To support this, we'll temporarily be
   printing warnings when people use the debugfs interface. See the
   series "mm/damon: deprecate DAMON debugfs interface".

 - Andrey Konovalov provided the accurately named "lib/stackdepot: fixes
   and clean-ups" series.

 - Huang Ying has provided a dramatic reduction in migration's TLB flush
   IPI rates with the series "migrate_pages(): batch TLB flushing".

 - Arnd Bergmann has some objtool fixups in "objtool warning fixes".

 - Joey Gouly has added prctl() support for prohibiting the creation of
   writeable+executable mappings.

   The previous BPF-based approach had shortcomings. See "mm: In-kernel
   support for memory-deny-write-execute (MDWE)".

 - Waiman Long did some kmemleak cleanup and bugfixing in the series
   "mm/kmemleak: Simplify kmemleak_cond_resched() &amp; fix UAF".

 - T.J. Alumbaugh has contributed some MGLRU cleanup work in his series
   "mm: multi-gen LRU: improve".

 - Jiaqi Yan has provided some enhancements to our memory error
   statistics reporting, mainly by presenting the statistics on a
   per-node basis. See the series "Introduce per NUMA node memory error
   statistics".

 - Mel Gorman has a second and hopefully final shot at fixing a CPU-hog
   regression in compaction via his series "Fix excessive CPU usage
   during compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig does some vmalloc maintenance work in the series
   "cleanup vfree and vunmap".

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed block_device_operations.rw_page() in
   ths series "remove -&gt;rw_page".

 - We get some maple_tree improvements and cleanups in Liam Howlett's
   series "VMA tree type safety and remove __vma_adjust()".

 - Suren Baghdasaryan has done some work on the maintainability of our
   vm_flags handling in the series "introduce vm_flags modifier
   functions".

 - Some pagemap cleanup and generalization work in Mike Rapoport's
   series "mm, arch: add generic implementation of pfn_valid() for
   FLATMEM" and "fixups for generic implementation of pfn_valid()"

 - Baoquan He has done some work to make /proc/vmallocinfo and
   /proc/kcore better represent the real state of things in his series
   "mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas".

 - Jason Gunthorpe rationalized the GUP system's interface to the rest
   of the kernel in the series "Simplify the external interface for
   GUP".

 - SeongJae Park wishes to migrate people from DAMON's debugfs interface
   over to its sysfs interface. To support this, we'll temporarily be
   printing warnings when people use the debugfs interface. See the
   series "mm/damon: deprecate DAMON debugfs interface".

 - Andrey Konovalov provided the accurately named "lib/stackdepot: fixes
   and clean-ups" series.

 - Huang Ying has provided a dramatic reduction in migration's TLB flush
   IPI rates with the series "migrate_pages(): batch TLB flushing".

 - Arnd Bergmann has some objtool fixups in "objtool warning fixes".

<title>splice: Add a func to do a splice from a buffered file without ITER_PIPE</title>

Provide a function to do splice read from a buffered file, pulling the
folios out of the pagecache directly by calling filemap_get_pages() to do
any required reading and then pasting the returned folios into the pipe.

A helper function is provided to do the actual folio pasting and will
handle multipage folios by splicing as many of the relevant subpages as
will fit into the pipe.

The code is loosely based on filemap_read() and might belong in
mm/filemap.c with that as it needs to use filemap_get_pages().

filemap_get_pages() and a number of functions that it calls take an
iterator to provide two things: the number of bytes to be got from the file
specified and whether partially uptodate pages are allowed.  Change these
functions so that this information is passed in directly.  This allows it
to be called without having an iterator to hand.

<title>mm/filemap: fix page end in filemap_get_read_batch</title>

I was running traces of the read code against an RAID storage system to
understand why read requests were being misaligned against the underlying
RAID strips.  I found that the page end offset calculation in
filemap_get_read_batch() was off by one.

When a read is submitted with end offset 1048575, then it calculates the
end page for read of 256 when it should be 255.  "last_index" is the index
of the page beyond the end of the read and it should be skipped when get a
batch of pages for read in @filemap_get_read_batch().

The below simple patch fixes the problem.  This code was introduced in
kernel 5.12.
