The patch titled Subject: mm/page_vma_mapped: delete bogosity in page_vma_mapped_walk() has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-page_vma_mapped-delete-bogosity-in-page_vma_mapped_walk.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-page_vma_mapped-delete-bogosity-in-page_vma_mapped_walk.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/page_vma_mapped: delete bogosity in page_vma_mapped_walk() Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2023 18:12:52 -0700 (PDT) Revert commit a7a69d8ba88d ("mm/thp: another PVMW_SYNC fix in page_vma_mapped_walk()"): I was proud of that "Aha!" commit at the time, but in revisiting page_vma_mapped_walk() for pte_offset_map() failure, that block raised a doubt: and it now seems utterly bogus. The prior map_pte() has taken ptl unconditionally when PVMW_SYNC: I must have forgotten that when making the change. It did no harm, but could not have fixed a BUG or WARN, and is hard to reconcile with coming changes.
