Subject: [PATCH 2/4] nvdimm/pmem: avoid HWPoison flag updates for clean pages
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 20:21:25 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903122128.12264-3-songmuchun@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903122128.12264-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com>
pmem_mkpage_present() is called after persistent-memory poison has been
cleared. It only needs to clear PG_hwpoison and undo the MCE nospec state
for PFNs that are still marked poisoned.
For clean PFNs, test_and_clear_pmem_poison() has no semantic effect, but it
still performs an atomic clear operation against struct page flags. That is
unnecessary today and conflicts with the FS-DAX vmemmap optimization added
later in the series, where clean PFNs may be backed by shared read-only
metadata.
Check PageHWPoison() first so only poisoned PFNs update the page state.
Poison recovery keeps the same behavior, while clean PFNs no longer require
writable per-PFN metadata.
