Subject: [PATCH 2/4] mm/migrate: Unify and retry an unstable pmd when hit
Date: Fri,  2 Jun 2023 19:05:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230602230552.350731-3-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230602230552.350731-1-peterx@redhat.com>

There's one pmd_bad() check, but should be better to use pmd_clear_bad()
which is part of pmd_trans_unstable().

And I assume that's not enough, because there can be race of thp insertion
when reaching pmd_bad(), so it can be !bad but a thp, then the walk is
illegal.

There's one case though where the function used pmd_trans_unstable() but
only for pmd split.  Merge them into one, and if it happens retry the whole
pmd.
