The WARN_ON_ONCE() statement in riscv's huge_pte_alloc() is susceptible
to false positives, because the pte is read twice at the C language
level, locklessly, within the same conditional statement. Depending on
compiler behavior, this can lead to generated machine code that actually
reads the pte just once, or twice. Reading twice will expose the code to
changing pte values and cause incorrect behavior.
In [1], similar code actually caused a kernel crash on 64-bit x86, when
using clang to build the kernel, but only after the conversion from *pte
reads, to ptep_get(pte). The latter uses READ_ONCE(), which forced a
double read of *pte.
Rather than waiting for the upcoming ptep_get() conversion, just convert
this part of the code now, but in a way that avoids the above problem:
take a single snapshot of the pte before using it in the WARN
conditional.
As expected, this preparatory step does not actually change the
generated code ("make mm/hugetlbpage.s"), on riscv64, when using a gcc
12.2 cross compiler.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
- Yosry Ahmed brought back some cgroup v1 stats in OOM logs
- Yosry has also eliminated cgroup's atomic rstat flushing
- Nhat Pham adds the new cachestat() syscall. It provides userspace
with the ability to query pagecache status - a similar concept to
mincore() but more powerful and with improved usability
- Mel Gorman provides more optimizations for compaction, reducing the
prevalence of page rescanning
- Lorenzo Stoakes has done some maintanance work on the
get_user_pages() interface
- Liam Howlett continues with cleanups and maintenance work to the
maple tree code. Peng Zhang also does some work on maple tree
- Johannes Weiner has done some cleanup work on the compaction code
- David Hildenbrand has contributed additional selftests for
get_user_pages()
- Thomas Gleixner has contributed some maintenance and optimization
work for the vmalloc code
- Baolin Wang has provided some compaction cleanups,
- SeongJae Park continues maintenance work on the DAMON code
- Huang Ying has done some maintenance on the swap code's usage of
device refcounting
- Christoph Hellwig has some cleanups for the filemap/directio code
- Ryan Roberts provides two patch series which yield some
rationalization of the kernel's access to pte entries - use the
provided APIs rather than open-coding accesses
- Lorenzo Stoakes has some fixes to the interaction between pagecache
and directio access to file mappings
- John Hubbard has a series of fixes to the MM selftesting code
- ZhangPeng continues the folio conversion campaign
- Hugh Dickins has been working on the pagetable handling code, mainly
with a view to reducing the load on the mmap_lock
- Catalin Marinas has reduced the arm64 kmalloc() minimum alignment
from 128 to 8
- Domenico Cerasuolo has improved the zswap reclaim mechanism by
reorganizing the LRU management
- Matthew Wilcox provides some fixups to make gfs2 work better with the
buffer_head code
- Vishal Moola also has done some folio conversion work
- Matthew Wilcox has removed the remnants of the pagevec code - their
functionality is migrated over to struct folio_batch

Svnapot can be used to support 64KB hugetlb page, so it can become a new
option when using hugetlbfs. Add a basic implementation of hugetlb page,
and support 64KB as a size in it by using Svnapot.
For test, boot kernel with command line contains "default_hugepagesz=64K
hugepagesz=64K hugepages=20" and run a simple test like this:
tools/testing/selftests/vm/map_hugetlb 1 16
And it should be passed.

The newly introduced p*d_leaf macros allow to check if an entry of the
page table map to a physical page instead of the next level. To avoid
duplication of code, use those macros to determine if a page table entry
points to a hugepage.
