[PATCH 1/1] mm/hugetlb.c: teach follow_hugetlb_page() to handle FOLL_NOWAIT

From: Andrea Arcangeli
Date: Tue Jan 08 2019 - 21:02:25 EST


hugetlb needs the same fix as faultin_nopage (which was applied in
96312e61282ae3f6537a562625706498cbc75594) or KVM hangs because it
thinks the mmap_sem was already released by hugetlb_fault() if it
returned VM_FAULT_RETRY, but it wasn't in the FOLL_NOWAIT case.

Fixes: ce53053ce378 ("kvm: switch get_user_page_nowait() to get_user_pages_unlocked()")
