[PATCH RFC 01/13] mm/hmm: Process pud swap entry without pud_huge()

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

 



From: Peter Xu <peterx@xxxxxxxxxx>

Swap pud entries do not always return true for pud_huge() for all archs.
x86 and sparc (so far) allow it, but all the rest do not accept a swap
entry to be reported as pud_huge().  So it's not safe to check swap entries
within pud_huge().  Check swap entries before pud_huge(), so it should be
always safe.

This is the only place in the kernel that (IMHO, wrongly) relies on
pud_huge() to return true on pud swap entries.  The plan is to cleanup
pXd_huge() to only report non-swap mappings for all archs.
