When userspace uses hugetlbfs for the VM memory, user_mem_abort() tries to use the same block size to map the faulting IPA in stage 2. If stage 2 cannot the same block mapping because the block size doesn't fit in the memslot or the memslot is not properly aligned, user_mem_abort() will fall back to a page mapping, regardless of the block size. We can do better for PUD backed hugetlbfs by checking if a PMD block mapping is supported before deciding to use a page. vma_pagesize is an unsigned long, use 1UL instead of 1ULL when assigning its value.

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.
