[PATCH v2 12/17] mm/rmap: handle device-exclusive entries correctly in page_vma_mkclean_one()

From: David Hildenbrand <hidden>
Date: 2025-02-10 19:38:53
Also in: damon, dri-devel, linux-doc, linux-mm, linux-perf-users, lkml, nouveau
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - rmap (reverse mapping), the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Lorenzo Stoakes, Linus Torvalds

Ever since commit b756a3b5e7ea ("mm: device exclusive memory access")
we can return with a device-exclusive entry from page_vma_mapped_walk().

page_vma_mkclean_one() is not prepared for that, so teach it about these
PFN swap PTEs. Note that device-private entries are so far not applicable
on that path, as we expect ZONE_DEVICE pages so far only in migration code
when it comes to the RMAP.

Note that we could currently only run into this case with
device-exclusive entries on THPs. We still adjust the mapcount on
conversion to device-exclusive; this makes the rmap walk
abort early for small folios, because we'll always have
!folio_mapped() with a single device-exclusive entry. We'll adjust the
mapcount logic once all page_vma_mapped_walk() users can properly
handle device-exclusive entries.
