In preparation for the second patch, abstract away the THP allocation
logic present in the create_huge_pmd() path, which corresponds to the

There should be no functional change as a result of applying
this patch.

I suggest calling this something like "vma_alloc_anon_folio_pmd()"? Then
it's more consistent with vma_alloc_folio().

Also, likely we should just only pass in "addr" and calculate "haddr"
ourselves, it's cheap and reduces the number of function parameters.

Why isn't that moved into map_pmd_thp()

Note that in this patch you do:

map_pmd_thp(folio, vmf, vma, haddr);
spin_unlock(vmf->ptl);
__pmd_thp_fault_success_stats(vma);

But in patch #2

map_pmd_thp(folio, vmf, vma, haddr);
__pmd_thp_fault_success_stats(vma);
goto unlock;
release:
	folio_put(folio);
unlock:
	spin_unlock(vmf->ptl);

Please make that consistent, meaning:

1) Inline __pmd_thp_fault_success_stats() into map_pmd_thp(). No need to
have the separated out.

2) Either do the PTL unlocking in __pmd_thp_fault_success_stats() or in
     the caller. In the caller is likely easiest. Adjusting the counters
     should be cheap, if not we could revisit this later with real data.

+
+static void map_pmd_thp(struct folio *folio, struct vm_fault *vmf,
+			struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long haddr)
+{
+	pmd_t entry;
+
+	entry = mk_huge_pmd(&folio->page, vma->vm_page_prot);
+	entry = maybe_pmd_mkwrite(pmd_mkdirty(entry), vma);
+	folio_add_new_anon_rmap(folio, vma, haddr, RMAP_EXCLUSIVE);
+	folio_add_lru_vma(folio, vma);
+	set_pmd_at(vma->vm_mm, haddr, vmf->pmd, entry);
+	update_mmu_cache_pmd(vma, vmf->address, vmf->pmd);

It's quite weird to see a mixture of haddr and vmf->address, and likely
this mixture is wrong or not not required.

Looking at arc's update_mmu_cache_pmd() implementation, I cannot see how
passing in the unaligned address would do the right thing. But maybe arc
also doesn't trigger that code path ... who knows :)


Staring at some other update_mmu_cache_pmd() users, it's quite
inconsistent. Primarily only do_huge_pmd_numa_page() and
__do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() use the unaligned address. The others
seem to use the aligned address ... as one would expect when modifying a
PMD.


I suggest to change this function to *not* pass in the vmf, and rename
it to something like:

static void folio_map_anon_pmd(struct folio *folio, struct
vm_area_struct *vma, pmd_t *pmd, unsigned long haddr)

... or better "map_anon_folio_pmd" so it better matches vma_alloc_folio_pmd() suggested above.

Could also do

vma_map_anon_folio_pmd() :)
