[PATCH v4 1/2] mm/madvise: introduce mkold_clean_ptes() batch helper

From: Lance Yang
Date: Tue Apr 02 2024 - 08:43:22 EST


Change the code that clears young and dirty bits from the PTEs to use
ptep_get_and_clear_full() and set_pte_at(), via the new mkold_clean_ptes()
batch helper function.

Unfortunately, the per-pte get_and_clear/modify/set approach would result
in unfolding/refolding for contpte mappings on arm64. So we need to
override mkold_clean_ptes() for arm64 to avoid it.
