Subject: [PATCH 3/5] mm/rmap: refactor some code around lazyfree folio unmapping
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 12:11:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707121128.373192-4-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260707121128.373192-1-dev.jain@arm.com>
For lazyfree folio unmapping, after clearing the ptes we must abort the
operation if the folio got dirtied or it has unexpected references.
Refactor this logic into a function which will return whether we need
to abort or not.
If we abort, we restore the ptes and bail out of try_to_unmap_one.
Otherwise adjust the rss stats of the mm and jump to a label.
Also rename that label from "discard" to "finish_unmap"; the former
is appropriate in the lazyfree context, but the code following the label
is executed for other successful unmap code paths too, so 'discard' does
not sound correct for them.
No functional change intended.
