Subject: [PATCH v3 05/11] mm: swap in PMD swap entries as whole THPs during swapoff
Date: Fri,  3 Jul 2026 10:38:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703173903.3789516-6-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260703173903.3789516-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>

Add swap_pmd_cache_lookup() to classify the swap cache behind a PMD
swap entry as empty, backed by one PMD-sized folio, or requiring
per-page handling because at least one covered slot has a smaller folio
in the swap cache.  PMD swap entries are handled at PMD granularity only
while the covered cache range is empty or backed by a PMD-sized folio;
a split cache forces the entry to be split and retried through the PTE
path.

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 swap cache already
contains per-page folios in the covered range (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.
