[PATCH v2 4/4] hugetlb: Do early cow when page pinned on src mm

From: Peter Xu
Date: Thu Feb 04 2021 - 09:54:59 EST


This is the last missing piece of the COW-during-fork effort when there're
pinned pages found. One can reference 70e806e4e645 ("mm: Do early cow for
pinned pages during fork() for ptes", 2020-09-27) for more information, since
we do similar things here rather than pte this time, but just for hugetlb.
