Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] mm/filemap: move the mmap hit check of filemap_map_pages() into helpers
Date: Mon, 09 Nov 2026 05:34:11 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109-bug-mm-mmap-readahead-descending-v2-1-abac52890a9c@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109-bug-mm-mmap-readahead-descending-v2-0-abac52890a9c@linux.dev>
filemap_map_pages() lowers mmap_miss for a folio it maps with PTEs at
the faulting address, unless the fault is a retry, the folio was
recently evicted, or the mapping skips the matching mmap_miss increment
in do_sync_mmap_readahead().
The PMD path of filemap_map_pages() returns before that loop, and the
next patch needs the same check there.
Move the check into filemap_mmap_hit() and the decrement into
filemap_count_mmap_hit().
