I think this is going to cause try_to_unmap() to always fail for hugetlb
shared pages. See try_to_unmap_one:
while (page_vma_mapped_walk(&pvmw)) {
...
if (folio_test_hugetlb(folio)) {
...
/*
* To call huge_pmd_unshare, i_mmap_rwsem must be
* held in write mode. Caller needs to explicitly
* do this outside rmap routines.
*
* We also must hold hugetlb vma_lock in write mode.
* Lock order dictates acquiring vma_lock BEFORE
* i_mmap_rwsem. We can only try lock here and fail
* if unsuccessful.
*/
if (!anon) {
VM_BUG_ON(!(flags & TTU_RMAP_LOCKED));
if (!hugetlb_vma_trylock_write(vma)) {
page_vma_mapped_walk_done(&pvmw);
ret = false;
}
Can not think of a great solution right now.
