[PATCH v2 3/3] mm/rmap: batch unmap file folios belonging to uffd-wp VMAs

From: Dev Jain

Date: Mon Jul 20 2026 - 02:56:54 EST


Commit a67fe41e214f ("mm: rmap: support batched unmapping for file
large folios") extended batched unmapping for file folios. That also
required making pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed() support batching, but
that was left out for the time being. Correctness was maintained by
stopping batching if the VMA the folio belongs to is marked uffd-wp.

Now that cond_install_uffd_wp_ptes() supports batching, call it with the
full batch length and allow folio_unmap_pte_batch() to batch file folios
belonging to uffd-wp VMAs.

For file folios, if the uffd-wp bit is set, unmapping converts present
PTEs into uffd-wp markers. We must ensure that the same PTE range is not
reprocessed by the try_to_unmap_one() loop.

The page_vma_mapped_walk API ensures this: check_pte() only returns true
if any PFN in [pvmw->pfn, pvmw->pfn + nr_pages) is mapped by the PTE.
There is no PFN underlying a uffd-wp marker PTE, so check_pte() returns
false and the walk skips ahead until it reaches a present entry again.
