Looking at the mte_sync_page_tags() logic, we bail out early if it's the
old pte is not a swap one and the new pte is not tagged. So we only need
to call mte_sync_tags() if it's a tagged new pte or the old one is swap.
What about changing the set_pte_at() test to:
if (system_supports_mte() && pte_present(pte) && !pte_special(pte) &&
(pte_tagged(pte) || is_swap_pte(READ_ONCE(*ptep))))
mte_sync_tags(ptep, pte);
We can even change mte_sync_tags() to take the old pte directly:
if (system_supports_mte() && pte_present(pte) && !pte_special(pte)) {
pte_t old_pte = READ_ONCE(*ptep);
if (pte_tagged(pte) || is_swap_pte(old_pte))
mte_sync_tags(old_pte, pte);
}
It would save a function call in most cases where the page is not
tagged.
