Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 1/6] hugetlb: convert hugetlb_fault() to use struct vm_fault
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 09:18:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904131809.503371-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090314-mumps-septum-7049@gregkh>
From: "Vishal Moola (Oracle)" <vishal.moola@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 9b42fa16195fb471bf3b7849803c0a7d3e7620f2 ]
Patch series "Hugetlb fault path to use struct vm_fault", v2.
This patchset converts the hugetlb fault path to use struct vm_fault.
This helps make the code more readable, and alleviates the stack by
allowing us to consolidate many fault-related variables into an individual
pointer.
This patch (of 3):
Now that hugetlb_fault() has a vm_fault available for fault tracking, use
it throughout. This cleans up the code by removing 2 variables, and
prepares hugetlb_fault() to take in a struct vm_fault argument.
