Hi all,

This series fixes three CMA-related issues in HugeTLB reservation,
long-term pinning and allocation:

 - Avoid ineffective CMA reservations on 32-bit x86 kernels running on
   CPUs that advertise 1 GiB page support.
 - Allow long-term pins of explicitly CMA-allocated HugeTLB folios,
   which already own the CMA memory.
 - Preserve the caller's GFP mask when allocating from CMA.

Changes in v3:
 - Drop the cpuset fix. A more comprehensive fix across the HugeTLB
   allocation paths will follow in a separate patchset.
 - Check for __GFP_COMP instead of adding it in
   cma_alloc_frozen_compound(), and leave __GFP_NOWARN to callers.
   (suggested by Oscar Salvador)
 - Clarify the CMA ownership comment in folio_is_longterm_pinnable().
   (suggested by Muchun Song)
 - Collect Reviewed-by and Acked-by tags.

Changes in v2:
 - Replace the PF_MEMALLOC_PIN allocation restriction with a GUP exception
   for HugeTLB folios marked HPG_cma. (suggested by Muchun Song)
 - Pass the caller's GFP mask through cma_alloc_frozen_compound() instead
   of skipping CMA when direct reclaim is disallowed.
   (suggested by sashiko)
 - Remove unnecessary revalidation of successfully allocated folios after
   cpuset changes. Retry only failed allocations.
   (pointed by Jose A. Perez de Azpillaga)
 - collect Reviewed-by and Acked-by.
 - Rebase onto next-20261104.

Thanks,
Qi

From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>

A 32-bit x86 kernel can run on a 64-bit-capable CPU advertising GBPAGES.
arch_hugetlb_cma_order() checks only this feature and returns a nonzero
order, although gigantic HugeTLB support on x86 requires CONFIG_X86_64.
Specifying hugetlb_cma= can therefore reserve a CMA area that cannot
serve the intended gigantic HugeTLB allocations.

On non-PAE kernels, the folded PUD_SHIFT yields a 4 MiB order, which is
equal to MAX_PAGE_ORDER. With CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, this triggers the
VM_WARN_ON(order <= MAX_PAGE_ORDER) check in hugetlb_cma_reserve(),
warning that hugetlb_cma is attempting to reserve a non-gigantic order.

Require CONFIG_X86_64 as well as GBPAGES when selecting the default CMA
order to avoid these ineffective reservations.

From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>

Long-term pinning treats explicitly CMA-allocated HugeTLB folios as
unpinnable, causing unnecessary migration or pinning failures.

These folios already own their CMA bitmap ranges, and memory blocks
overlapping CMA areas cannot be offlined. Allow HugeTLB folios with
HPG_cma to be pinned directly, including in ZONE_MOVABLE.

From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>

cma_alloc_frozen_compound() uses GFP_KERNEL, allowing direct reclaim
during the first MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY allocation attempt even though
the caller clears __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM.

Pass the caller's GFP mask through the helper so CMA respects its
reclaim constraints when trying the preferred nodes.
