[PATCH v2 5/9] mm/rmap: batch unmap folios belonging to uffd-wp VMAs
From: Dev Jain
Date: Fri Apr 10 2026 - 06:38:22 EST
Commit a67fe41e214f ("mm: rmap: support batched unmapping for file large folios")
extended batched unmapping for file folios. That also required making
install_uffd_wp_ptes_if_needed() support batching, but that was left
out for the time being, and correctness was maintained by stopping
batching in case the VMA the folio belongs to is marked uffd-wp.
Now that we have a batched version called install_uffd_wp_ptes_if_needed,
simply call that. folio_unmap_pte_batch() ensures that the original state
of the ptes is either all uffd or all non-uffd, so we maintain
correctness.
If uffd-wp bit is there, we have the following transitions of ptes
after unmapping:
1) anon folio: present -> uffd-wp swap
2) file folio: present -> uffd-wp marker
We must ensure that these ptes are not reprocessed by the while loop -
if the batch length is less than the number of pages in the folio, then
we must skip over this batch.
The page_vma_mapped_walk API ensures this - check_pte() will return true
only if any of [pvmw->pfn, pvmw->pfn + nr_pages) is mapped by the pte.
There is no pfn underlying either a uffd-wp swap pte or a uffd-wp marker
pte, so check_pte returns false and we keep skipping until we hit a
present entry, which is where we want to batch from next.
