Subject: [PATCH 08/10] mm/madvise: separate the PTL-held PTE scan
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 19:58:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922235830.2350770-9-gourry@gourry.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922235830.2350770-1-gourry@gourry.net>

The PTE loop mixes its PTL-protected scan with the surrounding lock drops
for rescheduling and large-folio splitting.

Move the scan into a helper that runs entirely under the PTE lock. It
returns a locked and referenced split candidate, or stops at the existing
scheduling boundary so the caller can drop the lock before yielding.

No functional change intended.
