Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] mm/huge_memory: don't mark refcounted pages special in vmf_insert_folio_pmd()
Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2025 23:16:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250603211634.2925015-2-david@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250603211634.2925015-1-david@redhat.com>
Marking PMDs that map a "normal" refcounted folios as special is
against our rules documented for vm_normal_page().
Fortunately, there are not that many pmd_special() check that can be
mislead, and most vm_normal_page_pmd()/vm_normal_folio_pmd() users that
would get this wrong right now are rather harmless: e.g., none so far
bases decisions whether to grab a folio reference on that decision.
Well, and GUP-fast will fallback to GUP-slow. All in all, so far no big
implications as it seems.
Getting this right will get more important as we use
folio_normal_page_pmd() in more places.
Fix it by just inlining the relevant code, making the whole
pmd_none() handling cleaner. We can now use folio_mk_pmd().
While at it, make sure that a pmd that is not-none is actually present
before comparing PFNs.
