Subject: [PATCH 4/9] mm/memory: Batch set uffd-wp markers during zapping
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 13:00:08 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260310073013.4069309-5-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260310073013.4069309-1-dev.jain@arm.com>

In preparation for the next patch, enable batch setting of uffd-wp ptes.

The code paths passing nr > 1 to zap_install_uffd_wp_if_needed() produce
that nr through either folio_pte_batch or swap_pte_batch, guaranteeing that
all ptes are the same w.r.t belonging to the same type of VMA (anonymous
or non-anonymous, wp-armed or non-wp-armed), and all being marked with
uffd-wp or all being not marked.

Note that we will have to use set_pte_at() in a loop instead of set_ptes()
since the latter cannot handle present->non-present conversion for
nr_pages > 1.

Convert documentation of install_uffd_wp_ptes_if_needed to kerneldoc
format.

No functional change is intended.
