Patch series "mm, kvm: allow uffd support in guest_memfd", v4. These patches enable support for userfaultfd in guest_memfd. As the groundwork I refactored userfaultfd handling of PTE-based memory types (anonymous and shmem) and converted them to use vm_uffd_ops for allocating a folio or getting an existing folio from the page cache. shmem also implements callbacks that add a folio to the page cache after the data passed in UFFDIO_COPY was copied and remove the folio from the page cache if page table update fails. In order for guest_memfd to notify userspace about page faults, there are new VM_FAULT_UFFD_MINOR and VM_FAULT_UFFD_MISSING that a ->fault() handler can return to inform the page fault handler that it needs to call handle_userfault() to complete the fault. Nikita helped to plumb these new goodies into guest_memfd and provided basic tests to verify that guest_memfd works with userfaultfd. The handling of UFFDIO_MISSING in guest_memfd requires ability to remove a folio from page cache, the best way I could find was exporting filemap_remove_folio() to KVM. I deliberately left hugetlb out, at least for the most part. hugetlb handles acquisition of VMA and more importantly establishing of parent page table entry differently than PTE-based memory types. This is a different abstraction level than what vm_uffd_ops provides and people objected to exposing such low level APIs as a part of VMA operations. Also, to enable uffd in guest_memfd refactoring of hugetlb is not needed and I prefer to delay it until the dust settles after the changes in this set. This patch (of 4): Split copying of data when locks held from mfill_atomic_pte_copy() into a helper function mfill_copy_folio_locked(). This makes improves code readability and makes complex mfill_atomic_pte_copy() function easier to comprehend. No functional change.
