[PATCH 06/19] mm/pagewalk: Check pfnmap early for folio_walk_start()

From: Peter Xu
Date: Fri Aug 09 2024 - 12:12:29 EST


Pfnmaps can always be identified with special bits in the ptes/pmds/puds.
However that's unnecessary if the vma is stable, and when it's mapped under
VM_PFNMAP | VM_IO.

Instead of adding similar checks in all the levels for huge pfnmaps, let
folio_walk_start() fail even earlier for these mappings. It's also
something gup-slow already does, so make them match.
