Subject: [v2 10/16] mm: swap in PMD swap entries as whole THPs during swapoff
Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2026 07:24:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260602142537.198755-11-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260602142537.198755-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>
Add unuse_pmd() and call it from unuse_pmd_range() to swap in
PMD-level swap entries as whole THPs during swapoff. This mirrors
the existing unuse_pte_range() but operates at PMD granularity.
If the PMD-order folio cannot be allocated, the cached folio is no
longer PMD-sized (e.g. split in the swap cache by
deferred_split_scan() or memory_failure() while the PMD swap entry
was installed), or the folio is not uptodate, the PMD swap entry is
split into PTE-level entries via __split_huge_pmd() and a non-zero
error is returned so unuse_pmd_range() falls through to
unuse_pte_range(), which handles the individual entries at order-0.
