Its filename was mm-collapse-open-code-collapse_single_pmd-in-its-two-callers.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" Subject: mm/collapse: open-code collapse_single_pmd() in its two callers Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 11:06:24 +0100 A scan and a collapse want different things from mmap_lock. The scan reads one PTE table under the lock the caller holds, refuses most of the time, and the caller moves on to the next table without letting go. The collapse allocates, may sleep in writeback and takes the lock for write itself, so the lock it is handed is of no use to it. collapse_single_pmd() kept that boundary inside itself. It dropped the lock on some paths and not others, and reported which by way of a bool its callers had to carry along and then act on. Both callers already act on a drop, khugepaged by ending its walk and madvise_collapse() by looking its VMA up again. The code that has to know is not the code that does it. Open-code it in the two callers. Each scans under the lock it already holds and, when the scan found work, gives the lock up before running the collapse. The scan then has one rule, called locked and returning locked, and the run another, called unlocked. Nothing is left to report, so khugepaged's lock_dropped and madvise_collapse()'s mmap_unlocked both go. The engine never touches a lock it did not take, and how a caller locks its scan is the caller's business alone. khugepaged's walk carries on to the next table while the scan keeps refusing, and ends once a collapse has taken the lock from under it. madvise_collapse() re-finds its VMA after a collapse, which it did before, and now uses a NULL vma to say that it has to. It still reports the drop to its own caller, from the line that does it. Preparation for moving madvise_collapse() out of khugepaged.c: what it needs from the engine is then two calls with one lock rule each. The lock is given up and taken again at the same points as before. No functional change.
