Hi!
Did you mean in you patch description:
"userfaultfd: fix a crash in UFFDIO_MOVE with some non-present PMDs"
Talking about THP holes is very very confusing.
Hi David, Yes, "hole" is not a technical term, so I'll change as you suggested.
When UFFDIO_MOVE is used with UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_ALLOW_SRC_HOLES and it encounters a non-present THP, it fails to properly recognize an unmapped
You mean a "non-present PMD that is not a migration entry".
Yes, will fix.
hole and tries to access a non-existent folio, resulting in a crash. Add a check to skip non-present THPs.
That makes sense. The code we have after this patch is rather complicated and hard to read.

... in particular that. Is there some way to make this code simpler / easier to read? Like moving that whole last folio-check thingy into a helper?
Do you mean refactor the section after "if (ptf)" into a separate function? I was trying to minimize the code changes to simplify backporting but since additional indentation changes this whole block, I think it does not make much difference. Please let me know if I understood you correctly and I'll move the code into a separate function. Thanks, Suren.
