On some architectures (like ARM64), it can support CONT-PTE/PMD size
hugetlb, which means it can support not only PMD/PUD size hugetlb:
2M and 1G, but also CONT-PTE/PMD size: 64K and 32M if a 4K page
size specified.
When migrating a hugetlb page, we will get the relevant page table
entry by huge_pte_offset() only once to nuke it and remap it with
a migration pte entry. This is correct for PMD or PUD size hugetlb,
since they always contain only one pmd entry or pud entry in the
page table.
However this is incorrect for CONT-PTE and CONT-PMD size hugetlb,
since they can contain several continuous pte or pmd entry with
same page table attributes. So we will nuke or remap only one pte
or pmd entry for this CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb page, which is
not expected for hugetlb migration. The problem is we can still
continue to modify the subpages' data of a hugetlb page during
migrating a hugetlb page, which can cause a serious data consistent
issue, since we did not nuke the page table entry and set a
migration pte for the subpages of a hugetlb page.
To fix this issue, we should change to use huge_ptep_clear_flush()
to nuke a hugetlb page table, and remap it with set_huge_pte_at()
and set_huge_swap_pte_at() when migrating a hugetlb page, which
already considered the CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size hugetlb.
