Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] mm: extract mm_prepare_for_swap_entries() helper
Date: Mon,  6 Jul 2026 04:42:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706114320.1643046-3-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706114320.1643046-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>

When a swap entry is installed in a page table, the mm must be added
to init_mm.mmlist so that swapoff can find and unuse its swap entries.
This double-checked locking pattern is currently open-coded in
try_to_unmap_one() and copy_nonpresent_pte().

Move it into mm_prepare_for_swap_entries() in mm/internal.h and convert
both callers so it can be reused by upcoming PMD-level swap entry code
paths that also need to register the mm with swapoff.

copy_nonpresent_pte() previously inserted into &src_mm->mmlist rather
than &init_mm.mmlist, but the insertion point is irrelevant, mmlist
is a circular list and swapoff walks it entirely from init_mm.mmlist,
so only membership matters, not position.
