[PATCH] mm: teach mincore_hugetlb about pte markers

From: James Houghton
Date: Thu Mar 02 2023 - 17:24:22 EST


By checking huge_pte_none(), we incorrectly classify PTE markers as
"present". Instead, check huge_pte_none_mostly(), classifying PTE
markers the same as if the PTE were completely blank.

PTE markers, unlike other kinds of swap entries, don't reference any
physical page and don't indicate that a physical page was mapped
previously. As such, treat them as non-present for the sake of
mincore().
