> Thanks for your suggestion. I'll use folio_pte_batch() in v2.
Hi Lance,
Obviously, we both need this. While making large folio swap-in
v2, I am exporting folio_pte_batch() as below,

Subject: [PATCH] mm: export folio_pte_batch as a couple of modules need it
MADV_FREE, MADV_PAGEOUT and some other modules might need folio_pte_batch
to check if a range of PTEs are completely mapped to a large folio with
contiguous physcial offset.
