Subject: [PATCH] mm/mremap: Honour writable bit in mremap pte batching
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 12:09:52 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251028063952.90313-1-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)
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.

mm-selftests pass. Based on mm-new. Need David H. to confirm whether
the repro passes.
