mm/hugetlb: report -EHWPOISON not -EFAULT when FOLL_HWPOISON is specified
KVM uses get_user_pages() to resolve its stage2 faults. KVM sets the
FOLL_HWPOISON flag causing faultin_page() to return -EHWPOISON when it
finds a VM_FAULT_HWPOISON. KVM handles these hwpoison pages as a
special case. (check_user_page_hwpoison())
When huge pages are involved, this doesn't work so well.
get_user_pages() calls follow_hugetlb_page(), which stops early if it
receives VM_FAULT_HWPOISON from hugetlb_fault(), eventually returning
-EFAULT to the caller. The step to map this to -EHWPOISON based on the
FOLL_ flags is missing. The hwpoison special case is skipped, and
-EFAULT is returned to user-space, causing Qemu or kvmtool to exit.
Instead, move this VM_FAULT_ to errno mapping code into a header file
and use it from faultin_page() and follow_hugetlb_page().
With this, KVM works as expected.
This isn't a problem for arm64 today as we haven't enabled
MEMORY_FAILURE, but I can't see any reason this doesn't happen on x86
too, so I think this should be a fix. This doesn't apply earlier than
stable's v4.11.1 due to all sorts of cleanup.
[james.morse@arm.com: add vm_fault_to_errno() call to faultin_page()]
suggested.
