__vmap_pages_range_noflush() and friends can install some PTEs before
failing and leave them mapped, and the kernel callers do not agree on
who cleans them up. pcpu_map_pages() and kmsan_ioremap_page_range()
roll back what they mapped before the failure, while
vm_module_tags_populate() and the __GFP_NOFAIL retry loop in
__vmalloc_area_node() rely on the mapping functions cleaning up and
do not call anything like vunmap_range() themselves. When the same
range is mapped again, the attempt hits the leftovers and fails, with
a BUG() in vmap_pte_range() for huge mappings and a warning on the
small-page path.

This moves the rollback into the mapping functions. A failed vmap
leaves nothing mapped, and the callers no longer clean up after it.

Patch 1 is the KMSAN part. The shadow and the origin of a range
are mapped by two separate calls, so the rollback there has to
cover both. Patch 2 adds it to __vmap_pages_range_noflush() and
vmap_page_range(). Patches 3 and 4 drop the powerpc and percpu
cleanups that are not needed anymore.

Hao Ge (4):
  mm/kmsan: undo the shadow mapping when the origin mapping fails
  mm/vmalloc: undo partial mappings inside the mapping functions
  powerpc: drop redundant unmaps of failed vmap mappings
  mm/percpu: stop unmapping the CPU that failed to map
