I raised a question here previously and didn't get an answer...
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/YLDr%2FRyAdUR4q0kk@t490s/
I think I get your point now and it does look possible that the split page can
still be mapped somewhere else as thp, then having some subpage maintainance
looks necessary. The confusing part is above [1] you've also got that
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() assuming it must not be a mapped pmd at all..
Then I remembered these code majorly come from the try_to_unmap() so I looked
there. I _think_ what's missing here is something like:
if (flags & TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD)
split_huge_pmd_address(vma, address, false, page);
at the entry of page_make_device_exclusive_one()?
That !pte assertion in try_to_unmap() makes sense to me as long as it has split
the thp page first always. However seems not the case for FOLL_SPLIT_PMD as
you previously mentioned.
Meanwhile, I also started to wonder whether it's even right to call rmap_walk()
with tail pages... Please see below.

Here we call rmap_walk() on each page we've got. If it was thp then IIUC it'll
become the tail pages to walk as the outcome of FOLL_SPLIT_PMD gup (please
refer to the last reply of mine). However now I'm uncertain whether we can do
rmap_walk on tail page at all... As rmap_walk_anon() has thp_nr_pages() which
has:
VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(PageTail(page), page);
So... for thp mappings, wondering whether we should do normal GUP (without
SPLIT), pass in always normal or head pages into rmap_walk(), but then
unconditionally split_huge_pmd_address() in page_make_device_exclusive_one()?
Please correct me if I made silly mistakes on above, as I am looking at the
code when/during trying to review the patch, so it's possible I missed
something again. Neither does this code a huge matter since it's not in
general mm path, but still raise this question up.
