[PATCH] hugetlb: perform vmemmap restoration on a list of pages

From: Mike Kravetz
Date: Sun Sep 10 2023 - 19:14:50 EST


The routine update_and_free_pages_bulk already performs vmemmap
restoration on the list of hugetlb pages in a separate step. In
preparation for more functionality to be added in this step, create a
new routine hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios() that will restore
vmemmap for a list of folios.

This new routine must provide sufficient feedback about errors and
actual restoration performed so that update_and_free_pages_bulk can
perform optimally.

Special care must be taken when encountering a ENOMEM error from
hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios. We want to continue making as much
forward progress as possible. A new routine bulk_vmemmap_restore_enomem
handles this specific situation.
