Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb: fix mremap move length truncation

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: fix mremap bugs", v3.

This series fixes a few hugetlb mremap bugs.

Patch 1 fixes the return type of move_hugetlb_page_tables(), so large
hugetlb moves cannot be truncated when reported back to the generic
mremap code.

Patch 2 disables hugetlb PMD sharing for UFFD missing mode, so
UFFDIO_POISON markers cannot become visible through shared PMD page
tables.

Patch 3 fixes the recursive i_mmap_rwsem deadlock in the hugetlb mremap
path by avoiding the destination PMD sharing allocation path while the
mapping lock is already held for write.


This patch (of 3):

move_hugetlb_page_tables() returns the number of bytes moved, but
its return type is int while the generic move_page_tables() path uses
unsigned long lengths.

A hugetlb mremap() move length above INT_MAX can therefore be
misreported to copy_vma_and_data(). The out-of-range conversion to int
is implementation-defined; on common 64-bit builds, for example, a
4 GiB move can be reported as zero, making the caller treat the move as
a failure and use the wrong length for rollback.

Return unsigned long from move_hugetlb_page_tables(), matching
move_page_tables() and preserving the full byte count.
