Subject: mm/mremap: honour writable bit in mremap pte batching
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 12:09:52 +0530
Currently mremap folio pte batch ignores the writable bit during figuring
out a set of similar ptes mapping the same folio. Suppose that the first
pte of the batch is writable while the others are not - set_ptes will end
up setting the writable bit on the other ptes, which is a violation of
mremap semantics. Therefore, use FPB_RESPECT_WRITE to check the writable
bit while determining the pte batch.
