Subject: [RFC PATCH 07/12] mm: introduce is_huge_pmd() and use where appropriate
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 08:41:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49cf11ce2b91bb4648fc41c78fc4babf73879ee4.1761288179.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1761288179.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>
The 'swap' PMD case is confusing as only non-present entries (i.e. non-swap
'swap' entries) are valid at PMD level- currently migration entries and
device private entries.
We repeatedly perform checks of the form is_swap_pmd() || pmd_trans_huge()
which is itself confusing - it implies that swap entries at PMD level exist
and are different from huge entries.
Address this confusion by introduced is_huge_pmd() which checks for either
case. Sadly due to header dependency issues (huge_mm.h is included very
early on in headers and cannot really rely on much else) we cannot assert
here that is_pmd_non_present_folio_entry() is true for the input PMD if
non-present.
However since these are the only valid, handled cases the function is still
achieving what it intends to do.
We then replace all instances of is_swap_pmd() || pmd_trans_huge() with
is_huge_pmd() invocations and adjust logic accordingly to accommodate
this.
