Subject: [PATCH v8 17/30] mm: handle soft-dirty and uffd-wp on PMD swap entries
Date: Fri,  2 Oct 2026 02:52:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002095503.3585565-18-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002095503.3585565-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>

Soft-dirty and uffd-wp live in the PMD, not in the swap entry, so every
path that manipulates them for a PMD migration entry has to do the same for
a PMD swap entry. Otherwise clearing soft-dirty skips a swapped-out THP,
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT does not arm it, and mremap does not mark the
destination.

change_huge_pmd() needs nothing beyond dropping its
thp_migration_supported() gate: a PMD swap entry encodes no write
permission, so it falls into the default arm of
change_non_present_huge_pmd() and picks up only the uffd-wp update.
