The routine update_and_free_pages_bulk already performs vmemmap restoration on the list of hugetlb pages in a separate step. In preparation for more functionality to be added in this step, create a new routine hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios() that will restore vmemmap for a list of folios. This new routine must provide sufficient feedback about errors and actual restoration performed so that update_and_free_pages_bulk can perform optimally. Special care must be taken when encountering an error from hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios. We want to continue making as much forward progress as possible. A new routine bulk_vmemmap_restore_error handles this specific situation.

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.
