+ shmem-userfaultfd-implement-shmem-uffd-operations-using-vm_uffd_ops.patch added to mm-unstable branch

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The patch titled
     Subject: shmem, userfaultfd: implement shmem uffd operations using vm_uffd_ops
has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch.  Its filename is
     shmem-userfaultfd-implement-shmem-uffd-operations-using-vm_uffd_ops.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/shmem-userfaultfd-implement-shmem-uffd-operations-using-vm_uffd_ops.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
   a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
   b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various
branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there most days

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>
Subject: shmem, userfaultfd: implement shmem uffd operations using vm_uffd_ops
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 13:11:11 +0300

Add filemap_add() and filemap_remove() methods to vm_uffd_ops and use them
in __mfill_atomic_pte() to add shmem folios to page cache and remove them
in case of error.

Implement these methods in shmem along with vm_uffd_ops->alloc_folio() and
drop shmem_mfill_atomic_pte().

Since userfaultfd now does not reference any functions from shmem, drop
include if linux/shmem_fs.h from mm/userfaultfd.c

mfill_atomic_install_pte() is not used anywhere outside of mm/userfaultfd,
make it static.
