[PATCH v3 0/3] mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks

[Usama Arif]

Since commit 368076f52ebe ("mm/huge_memory: add device-private THP support
to PMD operations") a PMD may hold a device-private swap entry whenever
an HMM-based GPU driver migrates an anonymous THP folio to device memory
via migrate_vma_pages().

pmd_trans_huge_lock() succeeds for such PMDs (pmd_is_huge() returns true
for any non-present, non-none huge PMD), so several MM walk callbacks
that used to assume present THP or migration entry are now reachable with
a device-private PMD. The results range from a VM_BUG_ON() firing on debug
kernels, to an oops on a bogus vmemmap dereference, to silently isolating
an unrelated live folio from LRU in the aliasing case.

v2 -> v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260708122040.861335-1-usama.arif@xxxxxxxxx/
- Patch 1: use pmdp_get() instead of *pmd. (Zi)
- Patches 2 and 3: drop the thp_migration_supported() guard and
  downgrade VM_BUG_ON to VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(). thp_migration_supported()
  expands to IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_PMD_SOFTLEAF), and both
  pmd_is_migration_entry() and pmd_is_device_private_entry() already
  return false without that config, so the guard suppresses only the
  case where the warning would already be silent. (David)

v1 -> v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260707135255.292870-1-usama.arif@xxxxxxxxx/
- Patch 1 now gates queue_folios_pmd() on !pmd_present() instead of
  checking only pmd_is_device_private_entry(). This matches the PTE path,
  keeps migration entries counted in qp->nr_failed, and skips other
  non-present PMDs such as device-private entries before calling
  pmd_folio(). (Joshua)
- Patches 2 and 3 now fold device-private PMD handling into the existing
  !pmd_present() VM_BUG_ON() condition instead of using a separate early
  pmd_is_device_private_entry() check. (Joshua)
- cc stable (Zi)
