copy-on-write of hugetlb user pages with uncorrectable errors will result in a kernel crash. This is because the copy is performed in kernel mode and in general we can not handle accessing memory with such errors while in kernel mode. Commita873dfe103("mm, hwpoison: try to recover from copy-on write faults") introduced the routine copy_user_highpage_mc() to gracefully handle copying of user pages with uncorrectable errors. However, the separate hugetlb copy-on-write code paths were not modified as part of commita873dfe103. Modify hugetlb copy-on-write code paths to use copy_mc_user_highpage() so that they can also gracefully handle uncorrectable errors in user pages. This involves changing the hugetlb specific routine copy_user_large_folio() from type void to int so that it can return an error. Modify the hugetlb userfaultfd code in the same way so that it can return -EHWPOISON if it encounters an uncorrectable error.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
