[PATCH 4/6] mm/migrate: batch the restore-side migration rmap walk
From: Shivank Garg
Date: Sun Jul 12 2026 - 03:42:12 EST
remove_migration_pte() restores migration entries one PTE at a time. For
a PTE-mapped large folio, it repeats calls to building the PTE, add rmap,
set_pte_at() and page_vma_mapped_walk() per base page (256 times for
a 1M folio).
Add migration_pte_batch() to detect batch of contiguous migration entries
that map consecutive subpages, and have identical PTE bits.
While at it, use folio_is_device_private() instead of
is_device_private_page().
