Subject: [PATCH 2/9] mm/rmap: initialize nr_pages to 1 at loop start in try_to_unmap_one
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 13:00:06 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260310073013.4069309-3-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260310073013.4069309-1-dev.jain@arm.com>
Initialize nr_pages to 1 at the start of the loop, similar to what is being
done in folio_referenced_one(). It may happen that the nr_pages computed
from a previous call to folio_unmap_pte_batch gets reused without again
going through folio_unmap_pte_batch, messing up things. Although, I don't
think there is any bug right now; a bug would have been there, if in the
same instance of a call to try_to_unmap_one, we end up in the
pte_present(pteval) branch, then in the else branch doing pte_clear() for
device-exclusive ptes. This means that a lazyfree folio has some present
entries and some device entries mapping it. Since a pte being
device-exclusive means that a GUP reference on the underlying folio is
held, the lazyfree unmapping path upon witnessing this will abort
try_to_unmap_one.
