Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable v1 1/5] mm: consolidate anonymous folio PTE mapping into helpers
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 19:18:31 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260212021835.17755-2-npache@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260212021835.17755-1-npache@redhat.com>
The anonymous page fault handler in do_anonymous_page() open-codes the
sequence to map a newly allocated anonymous folio at the PTE level:
- construct the PTE entry
- add rmap
- add to LRU
- set the PTEs
- update the MMU cache.
Introduce a two helpers to consolidate this duplicated logic, mirroring the
existing map_anon_folio_pmd_nopf() pattern for PMD-level mappings:
map_anon_folio_pte_nopf(): constructs the PTE entry, takes folio
references, adds anon rmap and LRU. This function also handles the
uffd_wp that can occur in the pf variant.
map_anon_folio_pte_pf(): extends the nopf variant to handle MM_ANONPAGES
counter updates, and mTHP fault allocation statistics for the page fault
path.
The zero-page read path in do_anonymous_page() is also untangled from the
shared setpte label, since it does not allocate a folio and should not
share the same mapping sequence as the write path. Make nr_pages = 1
rather than relying on the variable. This makes it more clear that we
are operating on the zero page only.
This refactoring will also help reduce code duplication between mm/memory.c
and mm/khugepaged.c, and provides a clean API for PTE-level anonymous folio
mapping that can be reused by future callers.
