This is agains mm/mm-unstable, but everything except patch #6 and #7 should apply on current master. Especially patch #1 and #2 should go upstream first, so we can let the other stuff mature a bit longer.
Handle the fallout of 474098edac26 ("mm/gup: replace FOLL_NUMA by gup_can_follow_protnone()") where I accidentially missed that follow_page() and smaps implicitly kept the FOLL_NUMA flag clear by not setting it if FOLL_FORCE is absent, to not trigger faults on PROT_NONE-mapped PTEs.
Patch #1 fixes the known issues by reintroducing FOLL_NUMA as FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT and decoupling it from FOLL_FORCE.
Patch #2 is a cleanup that I think actually fixes some corner cases, so I added a Fixes: tag.
Patch #3 makes KVM explicitly set FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT in the single case where it is required, and documents the situation.
Patch #4 then stops implicitly setting FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT. But note that for FOLL_WRITE we always implicitly honor NUMA hinting faults.
Patch #5 cleans up a comments.
Patch #6 improves the KVM functional tests such that patch #7 can actually check for one of the known issues: KSM no longer working on PROT_NONE mappings on x86-64 with CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING.
v2 -> V3: * "mm/gup: reintroduce FOLL_NUMA as FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT" -> Squash one comment removal -> Adjust the KSM comment * smaps: use vm_normal_page_pmd() instead of follow_trans_huge_pmd() -> Move follow_trans_huge_pmd() to mm/internal.h
