Subject: [PATCH mm-new v2 1/1] mm/khugepaged: abort collapse scan on non-swap entries
Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2025 11:22:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251001032251.85888-1-lance.yang@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Lance Yang <lance.yang@linux.dev>
Currently, special non-swap entries (like migration, hwpoison, or PTE
markers) are not caught early in hpage_collapse_scan_pmd(), leading to
failures deep in the swap-in logic.
hpage_collapse_scan_pmd()
`- collapse_huge_page()
`- __collapse_huge_page_swapin() -> fails!
As David suggested[1], this patch skips any such non-swap entries
early. If any one is found, the scan is aborted immediately with the
SCAN_PTE_NON_PRESENT result, as Lorenzo suggested[2], avoiding wasted
work.

v1 -> v2:
- Skip all non-present entries except swap entries (per David) thanks!
