Subject: [PATCH v5 05/11] mm: swap in PMD swap entries as whole THPs during swapoff
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 08:19:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722152043.2273289-6-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722152043.2273289-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>
Add swap_pmd_cache_lookup() to classify the swap cache behind a PMD
swap entry as empty, backed by one PMD-sized folio, or requiring
per-page handling because at least one covered slot has a smaller folio
in the swap cache. PMD swap entries are handled at PMD granularity only
while the covered cache range is empty or backed by a PMD-sized folio;
a split cache forces the entry to be split and retried through the PTE
path.
Add unuse_pmd() and call it from unuse_pmd_range() to swap in
PMD-level swap entries as whole THPs during swapoff. This mirrors
the existing unuse_pte_range() but operates at PMD granularity.
Preserve soft-dirty, exclusive, and UFFD state when installing the
present PMD. If an RWP VMA has a UFFD-marked swap entry, also restore
PAGE_NONE so the first subsequent access still generates a userfault.
If the PMD-order folio cannot be allocated or read, the swap cache
already contains per-page folios in the covered range (e.g. split in
the swap cache by deferred_split_scan() or memory_failure() while the
PMD swap entry was installed), the folio is not uptodate, or any
subpage is hardware-poisoned, the PMD swap entry is split into
PTE-level entries via __split_huge_pmd() and a non-zero error is
returned so unuse_pmd_range() falls through to unuse_pte_range(),
which handles the individual entries at order-0.
