[PATCH v5 05/17] mm: Handle COW-ed PTE during zapping

From: Chih-En Lin
Date: Fri Apr 14 2023 - 10:25:56 EST


To support the zap functionally for COW-ed PTE, we need to zap the
entire PTE table each time instead of partially zapping pages.
Therefore, if the zap range covers the entire PTE table, we can
handle de-account, remove the rmap, etc. However we shouldn't modify
the entries when there are still someone references to the COW-ed
PTE. Otherwise, if only the zapped process references to this COW-ed
PTE, we just reuse it and do the normal zapping.
