[RFC PATCH 3/3] mm: mlock: update mlock_pte_range to handle large folio

From: Yin Fengwei
Date: Fri Jul 07 2023 - 12:53:18 EST


Current kernel only lock base size folio during mlock syscall.
Add large folio support with following rules:
- Only mlock large folio when it's in VM_LOCKED VMA range

- If there is cow folio, mlock the cow folio as cow folio
is also in VM_LOCKED VMA range.

- munlock will apply to the large folio which is in VMA range
or cross the VMA boundary.

The last rule is used to handle the case that the large folio is
mlocked, later the VMA is split in the middle of large folio
and this large folio become cross VMA boundary.
