Subject: [PATCH 05/10] mm/madvise: factor huge-PMD folio processing
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 19:58:25 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922235830.2350770-6-gourry@gourry.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922235830.2350770-1-gourry@gourry.net>
The huge-PMD branch combines PMD validation and lock ownership with folio
filtering, splitting, aging and isolation.
Move the folio-specific work into a helper called with the PMD lock held.
Return a locked and referenced folio only when the caller must drop the PMD
lock and split it.
No functional change intended.
Assisted-by: LLM
