Subject: Re: [PATCH v8 01/23] mm: Introduce PTE_MARKER swap entry
Hi Peter,
I noticed this while reviewing the next patch in the series. I think you need to
add CONFIG_PTE_MARKER to the below as well:
#if defined(CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE) || defined(CONFIG_MIGRATION) || \
defined(CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE)
static inline int non_swap_entry(swp_entry_t entry)
{
return swp_type(entry) >= MAX_SWAPFILES;
}
#else
static inline int non_swap_entry(swp_entry_t entry)
{
return 0;
}
#endif
Otherwise marker entries will be treated as swap entries, which is wrong for
example in swapin_walk_pmd_entry() as marker entries are no longer considered
pte_none().
