Subject: [PATCH v3 01/11] mm: add PMD swap entry detection support
Date: Fri,  3 Jul 2026 10:38:18 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703173903.3789516-2-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260703173903.3789516-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>

Currently when a PMD-mapped THP is swapped out, the PMD is always split into 512 PTE-level swap entries.  To preserve huge page information across swap cycles, later patches will install a single PMD-level swap entry instead.  This patch adds the infrastructure to detect those entries.

Teach the softleaf layer to recognise PMD swap entries: pmd_is_swap_entry() detects them and softleaf_is_valid_pmd_entry() accepts them as a valid non-present type.  Clear the exclusive overlay bit in softleaf_from_pmd() before decoding, matching how soft_dirty and uffd_wp bits are already stripped.

Add pmd_swp_mkexclusive(), pmd_swp_exclusive(), and pmd_swp_clear_exclusive() helpers to each architecture that supports PMD softleaf entries (x86, arm64, s390, riscv, loongarch, powerpc), mirroring the existing PTE swap exclusive helpers in each arch's pgtable.h.  Provide generic no-op PMD swap exclusive fallbacks for architectures without PMD softleaf support, matching the generic PMD swap soft-dirty fallbacks.
