[Patch v2 0/4] mm/mremap: cleanup move_page_tables() a little

From: Wei Yang
Date: Tue Jan 28 2020 - 19:27:08 EST


move_page_tables() tries to move page table by PMD or PTE.

The root reason is if it tries to move PMD, both old and new range should
be PMD aligned. But current code calculate old range and new range
separately. This leads to some redundant check and calculation.

This cleanup tries to consolidate the range check in one place to reduce
some extra range handling.

v2:
* remove 3rd patch which doesn't work on ARM platform. Thanks report from
Dmitry Osipenko

Wei Yang (4):
mm/mremap: format the check in move_normal_pmd() same as
move_huge_pmd()
mm/mremap: it is sure to have enough space when extent meets
requirement
mm/mremap: calculate extent in one place
mm/mremap: start addresses are properly aligned
