[PATCH 3/6] hugetlb: make hugetlb_fault_mutex_hash() take PAGE_SIZE index

From: Jane Chu

Date: Thu Apr 09 2026 - 19:43:13 EST


hugetlb_fault_mutex_hash() is used to serialize faults and page cache
operations on the same hugetlb file offset. The helper currently expects
its index argument in hugetlb page granularity, so callers have to
open-code conversions from the PAGE_SIZE-based indices commonly used
in the rest of MM helpers.

Change hugetlb_fault_mutex_hash() to take a PAGE_SIZE-based index
instead, and perform the hugetlb-granularity conversion inside the helper.
Update all callers accordingly.

This makes the helper interface consistent with filemap_get_folio(),
and linear_page_index(), while preserving the same lock selection for
a given hugetlb file offset.
