Subject: [PATCH v9 07/32] x86: mm: add PMD swap-exclusive helpers
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 10:38:51 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105183940.2236717-8-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105183940.2236717-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>
Prepare for keeping a PMD-mapped anonymous THP mapped by a PMD across the
swap round-trip, which makes PG_anon_exclusive have to survive in a swap
PMD and not just in a swap PTE.
x86-64 encodes a swap PMD exactly like a swap PTE, so the new helpers reuse
_PAGE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE, bit 3, which the swap-entry layout already reserves
for PG_anon_exclusive. 32-bit x86 aliases that bit to _PAGE_PSE and does
not select ARCH_HAS_PMD_SOFTLEAVES; assert that, because an exclusive swap
PMD would otherwise be pmd_present().
