The patch fixes handing PTE-mapped THPs in page_referenced() and
page_idle_clear_pte_refs().
To achieve that I've intrdocued new helper -- page_check_walk() -- which
replaces all page_check_address{,_transhuge}() and covers all THP cases.
Patchset overview:
- First patch fixes one uprobe bug (unrelated to the rest of the
patchset, just spotted it at the same time);
- Patches 2-5 fix handling PTE-mapped THPs in page_referenced(),
page_idle_clear_pte_refs() and rmap core;
- Patches 6-12 convert all page_check_address{,_transhuge}() users (plus
remove_migration_pte()) to page_check_walk() and drop unused helpers.
I think the fixes are not critical enough for stable@ as they don't lead
to crashes or hangs, only suboptimal behaviour.
Please review and consider applying.
