Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] mm/huge_memory: don't mark refcounted folios special in vmf_insert_folio_pmd()
Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2025 14:06:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250611120654.545963-3-david@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250611120654.545963-1-david@redhat.com>
Marking PMDs that map a "normal" refcounted folios as special is
against our rules documented for vm_normal_page().
Fortunately, there are not that many pmd_special() check that can be
mislead, and most vm_normal_page_pmd()/vm_normal_folio_pmd() users that
would get this wrong right now are rather harmless: e.g., none so far
bases decisions whether to grab a folio reference on that decision.
Well, and GUP-fast will fallback to GUP-slow. All in all, so far no big
implications as it seems.
Getting this right will get more important as we use
folio_normal_page_pmd() in more places.
Fix it by teaching insert_pfn_pmd() to properly handle folios and
pfns -- moving refcount/mapcount/etc handling in there, renaming it to
insert_pmd(), and distinguishing between both cases using a new simple
"struct folio_or_pfn" structure.
Use folio_mk_pmd() to create a pmd for a folio cleanly.
Fixes: 6c88f72691f8 ("mm/huge_memory: add vmf_insert_folio_pmd()")
