There is a comment in hugetlb_fault() that does not hold anymore. This
one:
/*
* vmf.orig_pte could be a migration/hwpoison vmf.orig_pte at this
* point, so this check prevents the kernel from going below assuming
* that we have an active hugepage in pagecache. This goto expects
* the 2nd page fault, and is_hugetlb_entry_(migration|hwpoisoned)
* check will properly handle it.
*/
This was written because back in the day we used to do:
hugetlb_fault () {
ptep = huge_pte_offset(...)
if (ptep) {
entry = huge_ptep_get(ptep)
if (unlikely(is_hugetlb_entry_migration(entry))
...
else if (unlikely(is_hugetlb_entry_hwpoisoned(entry)))
...
}
...
...
/*
* entry could be a migration/hwpoison entry at this point, so this
* check prevents the kernel from going below assuming that we have
* a active hugepage in pagecache. This goto expects the 2nd page fault,
* and is_hugetlb_entry_(migration|hwpoisoned) check will properly
* handle it.
*/
if (!pte_present(entry))
goto out_mutex;
...
}
The code was designed to check for hwpoisoned/migration entries upfront,
and then bail out if further down the pte was not present anymore, relying
on the second fault to properly handle migration/hwpoison entries that
time around.
The way we handle this is different nowadays, so drop the misleading
comment.

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 reStructuredText 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.
