Subject: [RFC v1 03/10] mm/debug_vm_pgtable.c: Add test to zap THP migration entry
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 16:34:24 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <733f1640590bf927a4cdef854c4656931922416e.1772013273.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1772013273.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com>
As discussed in the previous patch, there is a race possible with
zap_huge_pmd() and migrate_pages().
This adds a verification test.
