[PATCH v2 20/32] mm/madvise: clean up pte_offset_map_lock() scans

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Thu Jun 08 2023 - 21:34:13 EST


Came here to make madvise's several pte_offset_map_lock() scans advance
to next extent on failure, and remove superfluous pmd_trans_unstable()
and pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() calls. But also did some
nearby cleanup.

swapin_walk_pmd_entry(): don't name an address "index"; don't drop the
lock after every pte, only when calling out to read_swap_cache_async().

madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() and madvise_free_pte_range():
prefer "start_pte" for pointer, orig_pte usually denotes a saved pte
value; leave lazy MMU mode before unlocking; merge the success and
failure paths after split_folio().
