Subject: [PATCH 2/2] swap: Deal with PTE mapped THP when unuse PTE
Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2018 16:46:09 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181211084609.19553-2-ying.huang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181211084609.19553-1-ying.huang@intel.com>

A PTE swap entry may map to a normal swap slot inside a huge swap
cluster.  To free the huge swap cluster and the corresponding
THP (transparent huge page), all PTE swap entry mappings need to be
unmapped.  The original implementation only checks current PTE swap
entry mapping, this is fixed via calling try_to_free_swap() instead,
which will check all PTE swap mappings inside the huge swap cluster.

This fix could be folded into the patch: mm, swap: rid swapoff of
quadratic complexity in -mm patchset.
