Patch series "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation", v4. There are cases when we try to pin a folio but discover that it has not been faulted-in. So, we try to allocate it in memfd_alloc_folio() but the allocation request may not succeed if there are no active reservations in the system at that instant. Therefore, making a reservation (by calling hugetlb_reserve_pages()) associated with the allocation will ensure that our request would not fail due to lack of reservations. This will also ensure that proper region/subpool accounting is done with our allocation. This patch (of 3): Currently, hugetlb_reserve_pages() returns a bool to indicate whether the reservation map update for the range [from, to] was successful or not. This is not sufficient for the case where the caller needs to determine how many entries were updated for the range. Therefore, have hugetlb_reserve_pages() return the number of entries updated in the reservation map associated with the range [from, to]. Also, update the callers of hugetlb_reserve_pages() to handle the new return value.
