Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/4] mm/shmem: make SGP_NOALLOC succeed on hole like SGP_READ
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 17:47:02 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260515094702.1092355-5-chizhiling@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260515094702.1092355-1-chizhiling@163.com>
From: Chi Zhiling <chizhiling@kylinos.cn>
Change SGP_NOALLOC to return 0 with NULL folio on hole, matching
SGP_READ/SGP_GET behavior. This simplifies the sgp_type handling by
unifying hole semantics across these three types.
Previously, SGP_NOALLOC returned -ENOENT on hole, while SGP_READ/SGP_GET
returned 0. This inconsistency required special handling in callers like
khugepaged and userfaultfd.
After this change:
- khugepaged: behavior unchanged (checks both error and NULL folio)
- userfaultfd: behavior unchanged (both -ENOENT and NULL are converted
to -EFAULT before returning to userspace)
