For drivers that would like to longterm-pin the pages associated
with a file, the pin_user_pages_fd() API provides an option to
not only pin the pages via FOLL_PIN but also to check and migrate
them if they reside in movable zone or CMA block. This API
currently works with files that belong to either shmem or hugetlbfs.
Files belonging to other filesystems are rejected for now.

The pages need to be located first before pinning them via FOLL_PIN.
If they are found in the page cache, they can be immediately pinned.
Otherwise, they need to be allocated using the filesystem specific
APIs and then pinned.

v2:
- Drop gup_flags and improve comments and commit message (David)
- Allocate a page if we cannot find in page cache for the hugetlbfs
  case as well (David)
- Don't unpin pages if there is a migration related failure (David)
- Drop the unnecessary nr_pages <= 0 check (Jason)
- Have the caller of the API pass in file * instead of fd (Jason)

v3: (David)
- Enclose the huge page allocation code with #ifdef CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE
  (Build error reported by kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>)
- Don't forget memalloc_pin_restore() on non-migration related errors
- Improve the readability of the cleanup code associated with
  non-migration related errors
- Augment the comments by describing FOLL_LONGTERM like behavior
- Include the R-b tag from Jason

v4:
- Remove the local variable "page" and instead use 3 return statements
  in alloc_file_page() (David)
- Add the R-b tag from David

While looking at the user of pin_user_pages_fd(), I realized something:

Assume idx is not aligned to the hugetlb page size. 
find_get_page_flags() would always return a tail page in that case, but 
you'd be returning the head page here.

See pagecache_get_page()->folio_file_page(folio, index);

While looking at above, I do wonder: what if two parties tried to alloc 
the page at the same time? I suspect we'd want to handle -EEXIST a bit 
nicer here, right?

Thank you for catching this. Looking at how udambuf uses this API for hugetlb case:
hpstate = hstate_file(memfd);
mapidx = list[i].offset >> huge_page_shift(hpstate);
do {
	nr_pages = shmem_file(memfd) ? pgcnt : 1;
               ret = pin_user_pages_fd(memfd, mapidx, nr_pages,
                                                            ubuf->pages + pgbuf);
As the raw file offset is translated into huge page size units, represented by
mapidx, I was expecting find_get_page_flags() to return a head page but I
did not realize that find_get_page_flags() now returns tail pages given that
it had returned head pages in the previous kernel versions I had tested IIRC.
As my goal is to only grab the head pages, __filemap_get_folio() seems like
the right API to use instead of find_get_page_flags(). With this change, the
hugetlb subtest (that I have not tested with kernels >= 6.7) that fails with
kernel 6.7 RC1 now seems to work as expected.

At-least with the udmabuf use-case, there cannot be multiple entities allocating
and adding a page at a given offset in the memfd at the same time. However, I
can make the following changes to protect against this potential failure mode:
        do {
                for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++) {
+retry:
+                       page = NULL;
                        /*
                         * In most cases, we should be able to find the page
                         * in the page cache. If we cannot find it, we try to
                         * allocate one and add it to the page cache.
                         */
-                       page = find_get_page_flags(file->f_mapping,
-                                                  start + i,
-                                                  FGP_ACCESSED);
+                       folio = __filemap_get_folio(file->f_mapping,
+                                                   start + i,
