Subject: [PATCH v6 5/6] khugepaged: enable collapse pmd for pte-mapped THP
khugepaged needs exclusive mmap_sem to access page table. When it fails
to lock mmap_sem, the page will fault in as pte-mapped THP. As the page
is already a THP, khugepaged will not handle this pmd again.
This patch enables the khugepaged to retry retract_page_tables().
A new flag AS_COLLAPSE_PMD is introduced to show the address_space may
contain pte-mapped THPs. When khugepaged fails to trylock the mmap_sem,
it sets AS_COLLAPSE_PMD. Then, at a later time, khugepaged will retry
compound pages in this address_space.
Since collapse may happen at an later time, some pages may already fault
in. To handle these pages properly, it is necessary to prepare the pmd
before collapsing. prepare_pmd_for_collapse() is introduced to prepare
the pmd by removing rmap, adjusting refcount and mm_counter.
prepare_pmd_for_collapse() also double checks whether all ptes in this
pmd are mapping to the same THP. This is necessary because some subpage
of the THP may be replaced, for example by uprobe. In such cases, it
is not possible to collapse the pmd, so we fall back.
