Subject: [PATCH v1 0/5] mm/madvise: introduce MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) to prefault/prealloc memory

Excessive details on MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) can be found in patch #2.

Now accompanied by minor adjustments and selftests/vm tests.

RFCv2 -> v1
- "mm: fix variable name in declaration of populate_vma_page_range()"
-- Added
- "mm/madvise: introduce MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) to prefault ..."
-- Fix detection of memory holes when we have to re-lookup the VMA
-- Return -EHWPOISON to user space when we hit HW poisoned pages
-- Make variable names in definition and declaration consistent
- "MAINTAINERS: add tools/testing/selftests/vm/ to MEMORY MANAGEMENT"
-- Added
- "selftests/vm: add protection_keys_32 / protection_keys_64 to gitignore"
-- Added
- "selftests/vm: add test for MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE)"
-- Added

RFC -> RFCv2:
- Fix re-locking (-> set "locked = 1;")
- Don't mimic MAP_POPULATE semantics:
--> Explicit READ/WRITE request instead of selecting it automatically,
    which makes it more generic and better suited for some use cases (e.g., we
    usually want to prefault shmem writable)
--> Require proper access permissions
- Introduce and use faultin_vma_page_range()
--> Properly handle HWPOISON pages (FOLL_HWPOISON)
--> Require proper access permissions (!FOLL_FORCE)
- Let faultin_vma_page_range() check for compatible mappings/permissions
- Extend patch description and add some performance numbers

David Hildenbrand (5):
  mm: make variable names for populate_vma_page_range() consistent
