Subject: [PATCH v6 06/14] mm: fs: remove filemap_nr_thps*() functions and their users
Date: Sun, 17 May 2026 09:54:08 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260517135416.1434539-7-ziy@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260517135416.1434539-1-ziy@nvidia.com>

They are used by READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS to handle writes to FSes without
large folio support, so that read-only THPs created in these FSes are not
seen by the FSes when the underlying fd becomes writable.  Now read-only
PMD THPs only appear in a FS with large folio support and the supported
orders include PMD_ORDER.

READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS was using mapping->nr_thps, inode->i_writecount, and
smp_mb() to prevent writes to a read-only THP and collapsing writable
folios into a THP.  In collapse_file(), mapping->nr_thps is increased,
then smp_mb(), and if inode->i_writecount > 0, collapse is stopped, while
do_dentry_open() first increases inode->i_writecount, then a full memory
fence, and if mapping->nr_thps > 0, all read-only THPs are truncated.

Now this mechanism can be removed along with READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS code,
since a dirty folio check has been added after try_to_unmap() in
collapse_file() to prevent dirty folios from being collapsed as clean.
