Subject: [PATCH 2/5] mm/rmap: Add try_to_unmap_hugetlb_one
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 12:11:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707121128.373192-3-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260707121128.373192-1-dev.jain@arm.com>
Simplify try_to_unmap_one() by separating the hugetlb parts into
try_to_unmap_hugetlb_one().
To understand the correctness of the refactoring, the following points
are noted:
1. try_to_unmap() is called for hugetlb folios only when they are
hwpoisoned.
2. A hugetlb VMA cannot be mlocked.
3. page_vma_mapped_walk() returns at most one hugetlb mapping in a VMA,
and that mapping points at the head PFN.
4. We won't ever process a softleaf entry that encodes a hugetlb folio;
hugetlb folios are never swapped out, migration entries will be
skipped (PVMW_MIGRATION not passed), and device-exclusive does not
work for hugetlb.
5. The hwpoison entry is constructed from the poisoned folio, just as in
the pre-refactor code. Any previous uffd-wp state is deliberately not
preserved for the hwpoison entry.
6. TTU_HWPOISON is always present; for it to not be present, either the
folio has to be in swapcache, or mapping_can_writeback() is true (see
unmap_poisoned_folio), none of which is true for hugetlb folios.
7. Hugetlb uses separate counters from normal rss counters, therefore
update_highwater_rss() need not be called.
While at it:
- Change VM_BUG_* to VM_WARN_*.
- Do not declare variables which are only used once.
- Use huge_pte_dirty() instead of pte_dirty().
- Add 3 VM_WARN_ON_ONCE asserting that TTU_HWPOISON should be present,
pte_present() must be true, and the pfn derived from the huge pte
must be that of the head of the hugetlb folio.
Except the BUG->WARN change, no functional change intended.
