This series contains some fixes for hugetlb on arm64, and is split out from v1 of a wider series at [1]. While the last patch is technically targetting core-mm and is not directly related to arm64, I'd like to to go via the arm64 tree so that the wider performance improvement series (v2 to be posted shortly) that depends on this series doesn't have to be robust to the fix not being present. I've included maintainers/reviewers for all the arches that are (trivially) touched due to the API changes, hoping for some ACKs.These fixes look fine to me and I think we should get them in for 6.14. I think Andrew was ok with them going in via the arm64 tree: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20250205235219.3c3a4b968087d1386d708b04@linux-foundation.org/ (local)I think the diffstat looks worse than it really is, as the arch changes are reasonably mechanical. I'd like to let it sit in next for a few days though, so I'll pick this up once we've resolved my comment on patch #2.
Sounds good to me; if you're happy with my proposal in the patch 2 thread, then I'll respin.
Ryan -- did you find all of these issues by inspection, or are you aware of anybody hitting them in practice?
All by inspection. So I guess they are not urgent to fix from that perspective.
