Subject: [PATCH v3 00/11] mm: vm_normal_page*() improvements
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2025 13:26:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250811112631.759341-1-david@redhat.com> (raw)

Based on mm/mm-new from today.

Cleanup and unify vm_normal_page_*() handling, also marking the
huge zerofolio as special in the PMD. Add+use vm_normal_page_pud() and
cleanup that XEN vm_ops->find_special_page thingy.

There are plans of using vm_normal_page_*() more widely soon.

Briefly tested on UML (making sure vm_normal_page() still works as expected
without pte_special() support) and on x86-64 with a bunch of tests.
Cross-compiled for a variety of weird archs.

v2 -> v3:
* "mm/huge_memory: mark PMD mappings of the huge zero folio special"
 -> Extend vm_normal_page_pmd() comment + patch description
 -> Take care of copy_huge_pmd() checking for pmd_special().
* "powerpc/ptdump: rename "struct pgtable_level" to "struct ptdump_pglevel""
 -> Added
* "mm/rmap: convert "enum rmap_level" to "enum pgtable_level""
 -> Added
* "mm/memory: convert print_bad_pte() to print_bad_page_map()"
 -> Consume level so we can keep the level indication through
    pgtable_level_to_str().
 -> Improve locking comments
* "mm/memory: factor out common code from vm_normal_page_*()"
 -> Factor everything out into __vm_normal_page() and let it consume the
    special bit + pfn (and the value+level for error reporting purposes)
 -> Improve function docs
 -> Improve patch description

v1 -> v2:
* "mm/memory: convert print_bad_pte() to print_bad_page_map()"
 -> Don't use pgdp_get(), because it's broken on some arm configs
 -> Extend patch description
 -> Don't use pmd_val(pmdp_get()), because that doesn't work on some
    m68k configs
* Added RBs

RFC -> v1:
* Dropped the highest_memmap_pfn removal stuff and instead added
  "mm/memory: convert print_bad_pte() to print_bad_page_map()"
* Dropped "mm: compare pfns only if the entry is present when inserting
  pfns/pages" for now, will probably clean that up separately.
* Dropped "mm: remove "horrible special case to handle copy-on-write
  behaviour"", and "mm: drop addr parameter from vm_normal_*_pmd()" will
  require more thought
* "mm/huge_memory: support huge zero folio in vmf_insert_folio_pmd()"
 -> Extend patch description.
* "fs/dax: use vmf_insert_folio_pmd() to insert the huge zero folio"
 -> Extend patch description.
* "mm/huge_memory: mark PMD mappings of the huge zero folio special"
 -> Remove comment from vm_normal_page_pmd().
* "mm/memory: factor out common code from vm_normal_page_*()"
 -> Adjust to print_bad_page_map()/highest_memmap_pfn changes.
 -> Add proper kernel doc to all involved functions
* "mm: introduce and use vm_normal_page_pud()"
 -> Adjust to print_bad_page_map() changes.
