Subject: [PATCH] fixup! powerpc/mm: switch device DAX to shared tail vmemmap pages
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 23:28:26 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930152826.76084-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930140627.57431-10-songmuchun@bytedance.com>
The PowerPC radix path takes one reference for every PTE that maps the
shared tail page. Unlike the generic path, get_page() lets the counter
continue after it becomes non-positive and eventually cycle to zero.
Use try_get_page() so vmemmap population fails before the shared page
reference count can cycle, matching the generic implementation.
