Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable v4 0/5] mm: khugepaged cleanups and mTHP prerequisites
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 05:40:17 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325114022.444081-1-npache@redhat.com> (raw)
MAINTAINER NOTE: This is based on mm-unstable with the coresponding
patches reverted then reapplied.
The following series contains cleanups and prerequisites for my work on
khugepaged mTHP support [1]. These have been separated out to ease review.
The first patch in the series refactors the page fault folio to pte mapping
and follows a similar convention as defined by map_anon_folio_pmd_(no)pf().
This not only cleans up the current implementation of do_anonymous_page(),
but will allow for reuse later in the khugepaged mTHP implementation.
The second patch adds a small is_pmd_order() helper to check if an order is
the PMD order. This check is open-coded in a number of places. This patch
aims to clean this up and will be used more in the khugepaged mTHP work.
The third patch also adds a small DEFINE for (HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1) which is
used often across the khugepaged code.
The fourth and fifth patch come from the khugepaged mTHP patchset [1].
These two patches include the rename of function prefixes, and the
unification of khugepaged and madvise_collapse via a new
collapse_single_pmd function.
Patch 1: refactor do_anonymous_page into map_anon_folio_pte_(no)pf
Patch 2: add is_pmd_order helper
Patch 3: Add define for (HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1)
Patch 4: Refactor/rename hpage_collapse
Patch 5: Refactoring to combine madvise_collapse and khugepaged
Testing:
- Built for x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, and s390x
- ran all arches on test suites provided by the kernel-tests project
- selftests mm
V4 Changes:
- added RB and SB tags
- Patch1: commit message cleanup/additions
- Patch1: constify two variables, and change 1<<order to 1L<<..
- Patch1: change zero-page read path to use update_mmu_cache varient
- Patch5: remove dead code switch statement (SCAN_PTE_MAPPED_HUGEPAGE)
- Patch5: remove local mmap_locked from madvise_collapse()
- Patch5: rename mmap_locked to lock_dropped in ..scan_mm_slot() and
invert the logic. the madvise|khugepaged code now share the same
naming convention across both functions.
- Patch5: add assertion to collapse_single_pmd() so both madvise_collapse
and khugepaged assert the lock.
- Patch5: Convert one of the VM_BUG_ON's to VM_WARN_ON
