The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: copy_pte_range() use pte_offset_map_rw_nolock() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-copy_pte_range-use-pte_offset_map_rw_nolock.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: copy_pte_range() use pte_offset_map_rw_nolock() Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2024 14:46:21 +0800 In copy_pte_range(), we may modify the src_pte entry after holding the src_ptl, so convert it to using pte_offset_map_rw_nolock(). Since we already hold the exclusive mmap_lock, and the copy_pte_range() and retract_page_tables() are using vma->anon_vma to be exclusive, so the PTE page is stable, there is no need to get pmdval and do pmd_same() check.
