[PATCH v5 7/8] mm/hugetlb: Introduce set_huge_swap_pte_at() helper

Punit Agrawal punit.agrawal at arm.com
Mon Jun 19 10:01:44 PDT 2017


set_huge_pte_at(), an architecture callback to populate hugepage ptes,
does not provide the range of virtual memory that is targeted. This
leads to ambiguity when dealing with swap entries on architectures that
support hugepages consisting of contiguous ptes.

Fix the problem by introducing an overridable helper for architectures
needing this support. The helper is called when populating the page
tables with swap entries. The size of the targeted region is provided to
the helper to help determine the number of entries to be updated.

Provide a default implementation that maintains the current behaviour.
