Subject: [PATCH v5 4/7] mm: Introduce FPB_RESPECT_WRITE for PTE batching infrastructure
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2025 14:32:41 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250718090244.21092-5-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250718090244.21092-1-dev.jain@arm.com>

Patch 6 optimizes mprotect() by batch clearing the ptes, masking in the new
protections, and batch setting the ptes. Suppose that the first pte
of the batch is writable - with the current implementation of
folio_pte_batch(), it is not guaranteed that the other ptes in the batch
are already writable too, so we may incorrectly end up setting the
writable bit on all ptes via modify_prot_commit_ptes().

Therefore, introduce FPB_RESPECT_WRITE so that all ptes in the batch
are writable or not.
