[v3 PATCH 6/7] mm: migrate: check mapcount for THP instead of refcount

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The generic migration path will check refcount, so no need check refcount here.
But the old code actually prevents from migrating shared THP (mapped by multiple
processes), so bail out early if mapcount is > 1 to keep the behavior.
