Hm.


migration_entry_wait_on_locked documents

"@ptep: mapped pte pointer. Will return with the ptep unmapped. Only
required for pte entries, pass NULL for pmd entries."

Setting ptep implies that we have a *mapped pte* pointer that requires unmap.
If some code sets that although that's not guaranteed, that calling code
is wrong and needs to be fixed to not pass a ptep.


hugetlbfs never requires a map/unmap. I really don't see we there is need to
adjust migration_entry_wait_on_locked(): just don't pass a ptep as documented.

What's really nasty here is that hugetlbfs actually mostly works on PMD/PUD,
but we call it PTEs. One corner case might be CONT PTEs, but they are also
accessed without a map+unmap.

Regarding __migration_entry_wait(), I think we should just stop using it for
hugetlbfs and have a proper hugetlbfs variant that calls
hugetlb_migration_entry_wait(ptep == NULL), and knows that although we're
handling ptes, we're usually not actually holding ptes in our hands
that need a map+unmap.


Something like (including some cleanups mm parameter):
