Subject: [v2 09/16] mm: handle PMD swap entries in fork path
Date: Tue,  2 Jun 2026 07:24:17 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260602142537.198755-10-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260602142537.198755-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>

Teach copy_huge_pmd()/copy_huge_non_present_pmd() about swap entries,
mirroring copy_nonpresent_pte().

swap_dup_entry_direct() gains a nr parameter (and is renamed to
swap_dup_entries_direct()) so it can duplicate a contiguous range of
swap slots in one call, matching the existing
swap_put_entries_direct(entry, nr) API.  Existing callers pass 1.

copy_huge_non_present_pmd() "copies" PMD swap entries during fork
instead of splitting, preserving the THP.  This mirrors
copy_nonpresent_pte() which duplicates the swap slot refcount,
clears the exclusive bit on the source, and adds the destination
mm to mmlist.  If swap_dup_entries_direct() fails (GFP_ATOMIC table
alloc), copy_huge_pmd() retries after swap_retry_table_alloc() with
GFP_KERNEL, matching the PTE retry in copy_pte_range().  The PMD is
stable across the retry because dup_mmap() holds write mmap_lock on
both mm_structs.
