Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] mm/huge_memory: don't mark refcounted folios special in vmf_insert_folio_pud()
Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2025 14:06:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250611120654.545963-4-david@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250611120654.545963-1-david@redhat.com>
Marking PUDs that map a "normal" refcounted folios as special is
against our rules documented for vm_normal_page().
Fortunately, there are not that many pud_special() check that can be
mislead and are right now 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 introduce
folio_normal_page_pud() and start using it in more place where we
currently special-case based on other VMA flags.
Fix it just like we fixed vmf_insert_folio_pmd().
Add folio_mk_pud() to mimic what we do with folio_mk_pmd().
Fixes: dbe54153296d ("mm/huge_memory: add vmf_insert_folio_pud()")
