[PATCH RFC 6/6] mm: madvise: don't split mTHP for MADV_PAGEOUT

From: Barry Song
Date: Thu Jan 18 2024 - 06:14:05 EST


From: Chuanhua Han <hanchuanhua@xxxxxxxx>

MADV_PAGEOUT and MADV_FREE are common cases in Android. Ryan's patchset has
supported swapping large folios out as a whole for vmscan case. This patch
extends the feature to madvise.

If madvised range covers the whole large folio, we don't split it. Otherwise,
we still need to split it.

This patch doesn't depend on ARM64's CONT-PTE, alternatively, it defines one
helper named pte_range_cont_mapped() to check if all PTEs are contiguously
mapped to a large folio.
