Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mm/memory: batch set uffd-wp markers during zapping
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 11:18:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715111839.1667914-3-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260715111839.1667914-1-dev.jain@arm.com>

Enable batch setting of uffd-wp ptes.

The code paths passing nr > 1 to zap_install_uffd_wp_if_needed() produce
that nr through either folio_pte_batch or swap_pte_batch, therefore
batching is correct:

1) all ptes belong to the same type of VMA (anonymous or non-anonymous,
   wp-armed or non-wp-armed)

2) all ptes being marked with uffd-wp or all being not marked (same is the
   case with the pte_swp_uffd_wp_any check)

3) uffd_supports_wp_marker() is independent of the function parameters

Note that we will have to use set_pte_at() in a loop instead of set_ptes()
since the latter cannot handle present->non-present conversion for
nr_pages > 1.

Rename the function to cond_install_uffd_wp_ptes.

---
To handle nonpresent->nonpresent transition in the ptes, we can have a
set_nonpresent_ptes() (in my unmap series) : if !softleaf_has_pfn(), use
set the same pte value to all ptep's in the patch. if softleaf_has_pfn(),
then add a softleaf_next_pfn() to construct the next softleaf, and
pte_next_softleaf() to call softleaf_next_pfn() and preserve the
wp bit, s-d bit, etc from the previous pte.
