I see that Mike Kravetz suggested not putting this patch into stable in
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/befca227-cb8a-8f47-617d-e3bf9972bfec@oracle.com...
but it was picked through the autosel mechanism later.
So does that mean that Linus's tree shows this LTP failure as well?
Yes, according to https://qa-reports.linaro.org/lkft/linux-mainline-oe/tests/ltp-syscalls-test... mainline has the same testcase failure, it started happening between v5.4-10135-gc3bfc5dd73c6 and v5.4-10271-g596cf45cbf6e, when the patch was originally merged into 5.5-rc1.
This does seem to fix a real issue, as shown by the LTP test noticing it, so should the error code value be fixed in Linus's tree?
No idea what to conclude from the testcase failure, let's see if Mike has any suggestions.
Thanks for isolating to this patch!
There are dependencies between arch specific code and arch independent code during the setup of hugetlb sizes/mounts. Let me take a closer look at the arm64 code and get access to a system for debug.
Before I started investigating, Jan Stancek found and fixed the issue.

Great, thanks for this, now queued up.
