Subject: [PATCH mm-stable] mm/khugepaged: avoid unnecessary checking for swap entries when collapsing a mTHP
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 16:24:33 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825192433.3185880-1-pedrodemargomes@gmail.com> (raw)

mthp_collapse() tries to swap in PTEs when collapsing a mTHP if there are any
swap PTEs in the PMD range, even if none of those swap PTEs are
actually part of the mTHP's range.

Track swap PTEs in cc->mthp_unmapped_ptes so that mthp_collapse() can
tell whether the mTHP's own range contains a swap PTE, and skip the
swapin check when it doesn't.
