Subject: [PATCH 06/25] mm/fbatch: fbatch_drain_lazyfree(onstack fbatch) before ptl unlock
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 07:06:26 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7155e86c-17f7-77d0-21dd-2d267f384a72@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <14a16945-529b-8bc0-ab38-3ea97e54e223@google.com>

Re-enable lazyfree batching for MADV_FREE. But it's not safe now to leave
potentially stale (then reused) folios in a per-cpu fbatch for lazyfree.
Instead, madvise_free_pte_range() keep an fbatch on its stack, and drain
it each time before dropping pagetable lock, while the folios are secure.

Ignore folio_may_be_lru_cached() and lru_cache_disabled(): limitations
irrelevant to this fbatch drained under spinlock (even if RT); though
in practice madvise_free_huge_pmd() does have to drain every time.
