This set of patches are separated out from Jane's earlier series.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20260617172534.1740152-1-jane.chu@oracle.com/

v4 here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260723143034.175661-1-willy@infradead.org/

Changes from v4:
 - Drop patch "Test the page is hwpoison before taking the mutex".
   It's not necessary for this series, and Sashiko points out a bad
   possibility.
 - Fix try_to_unmap() checking of HWPoison for hugetlb folios
 - Protect the folio->hugetlb_hwpoison list with its own spinlock
 - Fold the "Remove raw_hwp_list_head" patch into the "Remove locking
   mf_mutex in is_raw_hwpoison_page_in_hugepage" patch
 - Make folio_test_huge_poison() always false if CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE not set
 - Fix CONFIG_FILEMAP_LARGE_FOLIO -> CONFIG_LARGE_FOLIO conversion
 - Fix hugetlb_clear_poison() to clear has_hwpoisoned last
 - Add tags from Ackerley & Sean for guest_memfd patch

Jane Chu (2):
  filemap: Add hwpoison handling to filemap_read()
  hugetlb: replace hugetlbfs_read_iter() with generic_file_read_iter()

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (10):
  memory-failure: Fix hardware poison check in unpoison_memory() again
  mm: Rename folio_contain_hwpoison_page() to folio_has_hwpoison_page()
  hugetlb: Mark some function arguments as const
  guest_memfd: Use folio_has_hwpoisoned_page()
  hugetlb: Use the has_hwpoisoned flag
  mm: Remove locking mf_mutex in is_raw_hwpoison_page_in_hugepage()
  mm: Check individual hugetlb pages for poison
  filemap: Remove checks in mapping_set_folio_order_range()
  hugetlb: Set mapping folio order
  filemap: Add support for authoritative mappings

The earlier patch (6c54312f9689) that attempted to fix unpoison_memory()
was incorrect for hugetlb folios.  Before a6fddef49eef, we checked
the head page for poison (which was correct for hugetlb and incorrect
for THP).  We are currently incapable of unpoisoning pages (other than
the first page) in a hugetlb folio.

Use is_page_hwpoison() which handles hugetlb pages sufficiently well for
this purpose.  This is racy as we don't have a reference on the folio at
this point, but fixing that properly requires deeper surgery and this
is a CAP_SYS_ADMIN path only so this will do for the moment and can be
easily backported.  It's no worse than the situation before a6fddef49eef.

The other bug in a6fddef49eef is that we currently clear the HWPoison
flag on the precise page, which is wrong for hugetlb.  Fix that too.

Fixes: a6fddef49eef ("mm/memory-failure: convert unpoison_memory() to folios")

This is a better name for this predicate.  Also make the argument const
to allow other callers to be made const.  No functional change.

These functions do not modify their folio argument, so we can mark them
as being const which will allow for some minor optimisations and let us
mark other function arguments as being const in the future.

folio_test_hwpoison() only works on hugetlb folios today and will give
the wrong answer for other large folios.  folio_has_hwpoisoned_page()
works on both.

Other large folios use the has_hwpoisoned flag.  Convert hugetlb to match.
This will help us use the per-page hwpoison flag in the future.

Also introduce a folio_test_huge_poison().  This has exactly the same
meaning as folio_test_has_hwpoisoned() but can be used when we don't have
a reference to the folio containing the page.  folio_test_has_hwpoisoned()
can race with folio splitting / reallocation and trip the assertions
in const_folio_flags().

This closes a gap where a page in a previously-poisoned hugetlb folio
could be observed to not have the hwpoison bit set.

Sleeping in this kind of predicate is unexpected.  Add a new spinlock
to protect access to the list, and turn it into a normal singly linked
list now that it doesn't need to be a lockless list.

Rename is_raw_hwpoison_page_in_hugepage() to hugetlb_page_hwpoison()
and make it take the folio (since the callers naturally have the folio).
Also remove the handling of non-hugetlb folios and make the arguments
const.

So far, is_page_hwpoison() has returned true for the entire poisoned
hugetlb folio, but we can usually allow access to the pages which
aren't poisoned.  It's slightly tricky due to not having a reference
to the folio, but the hugetlb lock can save us here.

Add hwpoison handling to filemap_read() such that .read_iter() could
make best effort copying data out of clean pages without risking
MCE in case page cache contains HWpoison.

These checks make it impossible to use mapping_set_folio_order_range()
in hugetlb.  They add very little value and can simply be removed.

hugetlbfs currently uses an fs-specific way to determine the size of
the folios in its page cache.  Thanks to the support of block sizes
larger than page sizes, we now support this as part of the page cache.
It's somewhat more efficient as we have this information directly in the
mapping rather than going from inode->i_sb->s_fs_info.  We can convert
the rest of the hugetlb code to use this at our leisure; this is needed
now so that we can use filemap_get_pages() unmodified.

An authoritative mapping knows about all the folios in the mapping.
If read() finds a missing folio, there's no reason to allocate one and
try to read it because we know it's a zero region of the file.  We can
just call iov_iter_zero() instead.

From: Jane Chu <jane.chu@oracle.com>

generic_file_read_iter() now handles hugetlb poison, hugetlb page
size and missing folios correctly, so we no longer need a separate
hugetlbfs_read_iter().

No it doesn't.  folio_test_hugetlb() is one of th FOLIO_TYPE_OPS which is
defined as return data_race(folio->page.page_type >> 24) == PGTY_##lname;
and no asserts.  I mean, there probably should be!  But this is irrelevant;
this whole function contains many such folio tests and the same problem
applies to all of them.  This patch doesn't make it worse.

I'm not an expert in the memory-poison field, but this also seems wrong.
Don't all hugetlb folios have a folio_mapping()?  And thus we'll never
take the dissolve path in me_huge_page().

At any rate, it says "not introduced by this patch", so I'm not going
to take any action.

I don't know, and I'm losing patience with the Sashiko rabbit holes.
This is all getting very far afield from the problem I actually want
to fix.

Yes, lots of things risk panicking on poisoned memory.  It's never been

Dunno, and I'm done with side-quests.  Somebody else can decide if this
is a real problem that needs to be fixed.

Um, no?  Here's how is_page_hwpoison() looks:

static inline bool is_page_hwpoison(const struct page *page)
{
        const struct folio *folio;

        if (PageHWPoison(page))
                return true;
        folio = page_folio(page);
        if (folio_test_huge_poison(folio))
                return true;
        /* In case we raced with hugetlb transferring flags */
        return PageHWPoison(page);
}

We're relying on ordering; if we see a false folio_test_huge_poison(),
we recheck that the flag hasn't already been moved to the page.  Since
we always move the poison to the pages before clearing the page type,
I don't see how we can miss anything.

Hmm ... if we just move the hugetlb_clear_poison() call before the call
to folio_put(), that'll take care of this race, right?  Oh, but there's
two calls to folio_free_raw_hwp(), and the other one is when (ugh), we
don't have a reference to the folio.  So I think we wrap the whole thing
in hugetlb_lock to prevent this?

        ghp = get_hwpoison_page(p, MF_UNPOISON);
        if (!ghp) {
                spin_lock_irq(&hugetlb_lock);
                if (folio_test_hugetlb(folio)) {
                        huge = true;
                        count = folio_free_raw_hwp(folio, false);
                        if (count == 0)
                                goto unlock_mutex;
                        ret = hugetlb_clear_poison(folio);
                } else {
                        ret = TestClearPageHWPoison(p) ? 0 : -EBUSY;
                }
                spin_unlock_irq(&hugetlb_lock);

(this also includes the fix to the problem discussed below)

I think that's right, but I also think it goes away later in this series
when hwp_page_lock serialises the calls to __folio_free_raw_hwp().

Oh, I see.  I hadn't realised that case was also being handled here.
I'll rework it.

As before, hugetlb doesn't use splice_read() so adding support would be
dead untestable code.  We'll add support here when we need it.

Eventually, if hugetlbfs is ever converted to use filemap_fault().
As above, it'd be dead code.


That's it for interesting Sashiko reviews.  I've omitted some which
are suplicates, either within this patch series or have been reported
against previous patch series.  Feels like we're close!

That's fair enough - you aren't a memory-failure maintainer.  If you
want to take a shot at the pre-existing things then great, but
otherwise then let's ensure that the relevant maintainers were cc'ed
and move on.

One relatively minor issue here is that if Sashiko's pre-exiting thing
is serious, we may decide to fix it with a cc:stable and such a fix
should be staged ahead of your series for backportability reasons.  If
we end up upstreaming these things in the "wrong" order then the
backportable-fix developers will be asked to prepare a backportable
version of their patch, which is a bit cumbersome, but not the end of the
world.
