Unlike in your patch 2/3, I do not see that this (huge) pteval would later
be used again with set_huge_pte_at() instead of set_pte_at(). Not sure if
this (huge) pteval could end up at a set_pte_at() later, but if yes, then
this would be broken on s390, and you'd need to use set_huge_pte_at()
instead of set_pte_at() like in your patch 2/3.

Please note that huge_ptep_get functions do not return valid PTEs on s390,
and such PTEs must never be set directly with set_pte_at(), but only with
set_huge_pte_at().

Background is that, for hugetlb pages, we are of course not really dealing
with PTEs at this level, but rather PMDs or PUDs, depending on hugetlb size.
On s390, the layout is quite different for PTEs and PMDs / PUDs, and
unfortunately the hugetlb code is not properly reflecting this by using
PMD or PUD types, like the THP code does.

So, as work-around, on s390, the huge_ptep_xxx functions will return
only fake PTEs, which must be converted again to a proper PMD or PUD,
before writing them to the page table, which is what happens in
set_huge_pte_at(), but not in set_pte_at().

IIUC, As I said in the commit message, we will only unmap a poisoned
hugetlb page by try_to_unmap(), and the poisoned hugetlb page will be
remapped with a poisoned entry by set_huge_swap_pte_at() in
try_to_unmap_one(). So I think no need change to use set_huge_pte_at()
instead of set_pte_at() for other cases, since the hugetlb page will not
hit other cases.

if (PageHWPoison(subpage) && !(flags & TTU_IGNORE_HWPOISON)) {
pteval = swp_entry_to_pte(make_hwpoison_entry(subpage));
if (folio_test_hugetlb(folio)) {
hugetlb_count_sub(folio_nr_pages(folio), mm);
set_huge_swap_pte_at(mm, address, pvmw.pte, pteval,
vma_mmu_pagesize(vma));
} else {
dec_mm_counter(mm, mm_counter(&folio->page));
set_pte_at(mm, address, pvmw.pte, pteval);
}

}

Thanks for your explanation. As I said as above, I think we've already
handled the hugetlb with set_huge_swap_pte_at() in try_to_unmap_one().

OK, but wouldn't the pteval be overwritten here with
pteval = swp_entry_to_pte(make_hwpoison_entry(subpage))?
IOW, what sense does it make to save the returned pteval from
huge_ptep_clear_flush(), when it is never being used anywhere?

Please see previous code, we'll use the original pte value to check if
it is uffd-wp armed, and if need to mark it dirty though the hugetlbfs
is set noop_dirty_folio().

pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed(vma, address, pvmw.pte, pteval);

/* Set the dirty flag on the folio now the pte is gone. */
if (pte_dirty(pteval))
folio_mark_dirty(folio);

Uh, ok, that wouldn't work on s390, but we also don't have
CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP / HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP set, so
I guess we will be fine (for now).

Still, I find it a bit unsettling that pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed()
would work on a potential hugetlb *pte, directly de-referencing it
instead of using huge_ptep_get().

The !pte_none(*pte) check at the beginning would be broken in the
hugetlb case for s390 (not sure about other archs, but I think s390
might be the only exception strictly requiring huge_ptep_get()
for de-referencing hugetlb *pte pointers).

Ok, that should work fine, huge_ptep_clear_flush() will return
a pteval properly de-referenced and converted with huge_ptep_get(),
and that would contain the hugetlb pmd/pud dirty information.

Right, I think so too. I'll look at the uffd code in detail, seems need
another patch to fix the hugetlb for uffd. Thanks for your comments.

Adding Peter Wu mostly for above as he is working uffd_wp.

We could have used is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma) within the helper so as to
properly use either generic pte or hugetlb version of pte fetching. We may
want to conditionally do set_[huge_]pte_at() too at the end.

I could prepare a patch for that even if it's not really anything urgently
needed. I assume that won't need to block this patchset since we need the
pteval for pte_dirty() check anyway and uffd-wp definitely needs it too.

Thanks,

OK. Thanks Peter.
