Subject: mm/khugepaged: abort collapse scan on non-swap entries
Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2025 11:22:51 +0800
Currently, special non-swap entries (like migration, hwpoison, or PTE
markers) are not caught early in hpage_collapse_scan_pmd(), leading to
failures deep in the swap-in logic.
hpage_collapse_scan_pmd()
`- collapse_huge_page()
`- __collapse_huge_page_swapin() -> fails!
As David suggested[1], this patch skips any such non-swap entries early.
If any one is found, the scan is aborted immediately with the
SCAN_PTE_NON_PRESENT result, as Lorenzo suggested[2], avoiding wasted
work.
