[PATCHv2 1/5] mm/page_vma_mapped: Track if the page is mapped across page table boundary

From: Kiryl Shutsemau

Date: Fri Sep 19 2025 - 08:40:46 EST


From: Kiryl Shutsemau <kas@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a PVMW_PGTABLE_CROSSSED flag that page_vma_mapped_walk() will set if
the page is mapped across page table boundary. Unlike other PVMW_*
flags, this one is result of page_vma_mapped_walk() and not set by the
caller.

folio_referenced_one() will use it detect if it safe to mlock the folio.
