Hugetlb can now safely handle faults under the VMA lock, so allow it to do so. This patch may cause ltp hugemmap10 to "fail". Hugemmap10 tests hugetlb counters, and expects the counters to remain unchanged on failure to handle a fault. In hugetlb_no_page(), vmf_anon_prepare() may bailout with no anon_vma under the VMA lock after allocating a folio for the hugepage. In free_huge_folio(), this folio is completely freed on bailout iff there is a surplus of hugetlb pages. This will remove a folio off the freelist and decrement the number of hugepages while ltp expects these counters to remain unchanged on failure. Originally this could only happen due to OOM failures, but now it may also occur after we allocate a hugetlb folio without a suitable anon_vma under the VMA lock. This should only happen for the first freshly allocated hugepage in this vma.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
