[PATCH v2 01/14] mm/hmm: Process pud swap entry without pud_huge()

From: peterx@redhat.com
Date: 2024-03-18 20:04:11
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, linux-mm, lkml, sparclinux
Subsystem: hmm - heterogeneous memory management, memory management, the rest · Maintainers: Jason Gunthorpe, Leon Romanovsky, Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds

From: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>

Swap pud entries do not always return true for pud_huge() for all archs.
x86 and sparc (so far) allow it, but all the rest do not accept a swap
entry to be reported as pud_huge().  So it's not safe to check swap entries
within pud_huge().  Check swap entries before pud_huge(), so it should be
always safe.

This is the only place in the kernel that (IMHO, wrongly) relies on
pud_huge() to return true on pud swap entries.  The plan is to cleanup
pXd_huge() to only report non-swap mappings for all archs.
