Subject: [RESEND v7 23/29] mm/khugepaged: treat PMD swap entries as mapped THPs
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 05:28:13 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914122950.3283997-24-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914122950.3283997-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>
check_pmd_state() would report a PMD swap entry as SCAN_NO_PTE_TABLE - it
is not present and, on x86, is also pmd_bad(). The range is already a THP;
it just happens to be on disk.
Return SCAN_PMD_MAPPED next to the existing migration-entry case and before
the pmd_present() and pmd_bad() tests.
This does change MADV_COLLAPSE. Today a swapped-out THP is HPAGE_PMD_NR PTE
swap entries and MADV_COLLAPSE, which ignores khugepaged_max_ptes_swap,
swaps them all in. With a PMD swap entry it reports SCAN_PMD_MAPPED, which
madvise_collapse() counts as success, so the call returns 0 without making
the range resident. It still faults back in as a whole THP on first touch;
only the point at which the I/O happens moves.
