Changes since v1 [1]:

1) Thanks to David Hildenbrand for this part: added a second patch to
fix the same issue (incomplete error handling for the return value from
check_and_migrate_movable_folios()), but this time in
memfd_pin_folios().

Please note that I am not set up to test memfd things, so at this point
all I can claim is that patch #2 doesn't prevent my test machine from
booting. :)

2) Fixed a typo in the comment, in the first patch.

3) Added review and ack tags.

Fixes: 24a95998e9ba ("mm/gup.c: simplify and fix check_and_migrate_movable_pages() return codes")

In mainline since v6.1!

Fixes: 89c1905d9c14 ("mm/gup: introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios")

Since v6.11.


So these are quite independent fixes.  Kernels 6.1.x ...  6.10.x will
have the first patch and not the second.  That's presumably an untested
combination, fingers crossed.

Probably fine.

Ah, I'm actually about to send out v3 in a moment, which only has one patch,
whose diffs are just comment changes, plus David's latest suggestion:


  static long check_and_migrate_movable_pages(unsigned long nr_pages,
                                             struct page **pages)
@@ -2437,8 +2440,10 @@ static long check_and_migrate_movable_pages(unsigned long nr_pages,
         long i, ret;
  
         folios = kmalloc_array(nr_pages, sizeof(*folios), GFP_KERNEL);
-       if (!folios)
+       if (!folios) {
+               unpin_user_pages(pages, nr_pages);
                 return -ENOMEM;

         for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++)
                 folios[i] = page_folio(pages[i]);
