Subject: Re: [PATCH v8 02/23] mm: Teach core mm about pte markers

I've been reviewing existing pte_none() call sites and noticed the following:

>From khugepaged_scan_pmd():

pte_t pteval = *_pte;
if (is_swap_pte(pteval)) {
    if (++unmapped <= khugepaged_max_ptes_swap) {
        /*
* Always be strict with uffd-wp
* enabled swap entries.  Please see
* comment below for pte_uffd_wp().
         */
        if (pte_swp_uffd_wp(pteval)) {
            result = SCAN_PTE_UFFD_WP;
            goto out_unmap;
        }
        continue;
    } else {
        result = SCAN_EXCEED_SWAP_PTE;
        count_vm_event(THP_SCAN_EXCEED_SWAP_PTE);
        goto out_unmap;
    }
}
if (pte_none(pteval) || is_zero_pfn(pte_pfn(pteval))) {
    if (!userfaultfd_armed(vma) &&
        ++none_or_zero <= khugepaged_max_ptes_none) {
        continue;
    } else {
        result = SCAN_EXCEED_NONE_PTE;
        count_vm_event(THP_SCAN_EXCEED_NONE_PTE);
        goto out_unmap;
    }
}

I think the above could encounter a marker PTE right? So the behviour would be
wrong in that case. As I understand things the is_swap_pte() path will be taken
rather than pte_none() but in the absence of any special handling shouldn't
marker PTE's mostly be treated as pte_none() here?

I think you need to s/pte_none/pte_none_mostly/ here and swap the order of
conditionals around.
