Subject: [PATCH v8 13/30] mm: handle PMD swap entries in fork path
Date: Fri,  2 Oct 2026 02:52:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002095503.3585565-14-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002095503.3585565-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>

copy_huge_pmd() only knows about migration and device-private PMDs, so a
PMD swap entry would fall through to the present-PMD path and fork() would
duplicate it without taking a reference on the slots it points at.

Copy it the way copy_nonpresent_pte() copies a PTE swap entry: duplicate
the swap references, clear the exclusive marker on the source, put the
destination mm on mmlist, and account the child's slots to MM_SWAPENTS.

The GFP_ATOMIC extend-table allocation inside the dup can fail. Report that
as -EIO and let copy_pmd_range() retry with GFP_KERNEL, as
copy_nonpresent_pte() and copy_pte_range() already do for a PTE swap entry.
copy_huge_pmd() hands the entry back so the caller knows which range to
allocate for.

Only -ENOMEM is reported that way. The other failures mean the entry itself
is bad, and swap_retry_table_alloc_nr() returns 0 for those, so collapsing
them into -EIO as the PTE path does would spin in the caller's retry rather
than failing the fork.

While here, move the mm counter update into each entry-type arm, as the PTE
version does, so the swap arm can account MM_SWAPENTS instead of
MM_ANONPAGES.
