Subject: [PATCH mm-new v2 1/2] mm: make is_guard_pte_marker() available for hugepage collapse
Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2025 13:04:30 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250918050431.36855-2-lance.yang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250918050431.36855-1-lance.yang@linux.dev>
From: Lance Yang <lance.yang@linux.dev>
The hugepage collapsing code needs is_guard_pte_marker() to correctly
handle PTE guard markers. Move the helper to a shared header and expose
it.
While at it, simplify the implementation. The current code is redundant
as it effectively expands to:
is_swap_pte(pte) &&
is_pte_marker_entry(...) && // from is_pte_marker()
is_pte_marker_entry(...) // from is_guard_swp_entry()
While a modern compiler could likely optimize this away, let's have clean
code and not rely on it.
