Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/9] mm/huge_memory: read the huge PMD entry once when splitting it
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 02:33:11 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1b11fdaa4f5819959505ad72e3d70bad5fc1d343.1787941780.git.yintirui@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1787941780.git.yintirui@gmail.com>
__split_huge_pmd_locked() re-reads *pmd several times to classify the same
entry. The PMD page table lock is held throughout, so read it once into
old_pmd and classify from that.
No functional change intended.
