Subject: [PATCH v2 05/12] mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: unify writable vmemmap page preparation
Date: Mon,  2 Nov 2026 11:25:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102032525.3597743-6-songmuchun@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102032525.3597743-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com>

Installing a writable vmemmap page requires consuming a replacement page,
copying the current contents into it and making the copy visible before
publishing the new mapping.  HVO currently splits this sequence between
the page-table walker and its caller depending on the remap path.

Centralize the sequence in the walker so all writable replacements follow
the same copy-and-publish protocol.  This keeps page preparation with the
mapping update and removes path-specific handling from higher-level HVO
code.

No functional change intended.
