Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable RFC v4 7/7] mm: add PMD-level PFNMAP support for remap_pfn_range()
Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 22:50:03 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260526145003.88445-8-yintirui@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260526145003.88445-1-yintirui@huawei.com>

Teach remap_pfn_range() to install PMD-sized PFNMAP entries when the
virtual range and PFN are PMD-aligned, the architecture exposes PMD
PFNMAP support, and PMD leaves are available at runtime. The path only
runs on VMAs without ->fault or ->huge_fault, so the resulting PMDs
are known to be non-refaultable.

Non-refaultable PFNMAP PMDs cannot be rebuilt on demand and are
therefore installed with a deposited pgtable.
vma_pfnmap_has_deposited_pgtable() becomes the common predicate driving
the deposit logic in copy_huge_pmd(), zap_huge_pmd() through
has_deposited_pgtable(), and the new __split_huge_pfnmap_pmd().

The split path withdraws the pgtable and populates it with special PTEs
derived from the original PMD using pmd_pfn() and pmd_pgprot(). With
pmd_pgprot() returning PTE-level pgprot_t, this preserves protection and
cache attributes without reintroducing pte_clrhuge().
