[PATCH v2 23/32] mm/mglru: allow pte_offset_map_nolock() to fail

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Thu Jun 08 2023 - 21:37:25 EST


MGLRU's walk_pte_range() use the safer pte_offset_map_nolock(), rather
than pte_lockptr(), to get the ptl for its trylock. Just return false
and move on to next extent if it fails, like when the trylock fails.
Remove the VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(pmd_leaf) since that will happen, rarely.
