Patch series "return an ERR_PTR from __filemap_get_folio", v3. __filemap_get_folio and its wrappers can return NULL for three different conditions, which in some cases requires the caller to reverse engineer the decision making. This is fixed by returning an ERR_PTR instead of NULL and thus transporting the reason for the failure. But to make that work we first need to ensure that no xa_value special case is returned and thus return the FGP_ENTRY flag. It turns out that flag is barely used and can usually be deal with in a better way. This patch (of 7): split_huge_pages_in_file never wants to do anything with the special value enties. Switch to using filemap_get_folio to not even see them.

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.
