Subject: [PATCH v9 25/32] mm/mincore: report PMD swap-cache residency
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 10:39:09 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105183940.2236717-26-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105183940.2236717-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>
mincore_pte_range() reports every page under a huge PMD as resident. That
is wrong for a swapped-out one: mincore() would tell userspace that memory
it will have to fault in is already in core.
A PMD swap entry is only a compact encoding for HPAGE_PMD_NR slots, so
answer from the swap cache instead. One PMD-sized folio covering the range
makes every page resident exactly when that folio is uptodate; an empty
cache makes none of them; and if the folio was split while the entry stayed
in place, fall back to looking up each covered slot as mincore_swap() does
for a PTE swap entry.
