I think I mostly agree with you, and these APIs are indeed confusing.

As pmd_huge() will return true if PRESENT=0 && PSE=0 (as long as none pte ruled out first), while pmd_leaf() will return false; I think that came from cbef8478bee5. I'm not sure whether that is the best solution, e.g., from a 1st glance it seems better to me to process swap entries separately (including both migration and poisoned entries).. Sparc has similar things there, which in that case I'm not sure whether a direct replace is always safe. Besides that, there're also other cases where it's not clear of such direct replacement, not until further investigated. E.g., arm-3level has: #define pmd_leaf(pmd) pmd_sect(pmd) #define pmd_sect(pmd) ((pmd_val(pmd) & PMD_TYPE_MASK) == \ PMD_TYPE_SECT) #define PMD_TYPE_SECT (_AT(pmdval_t, 1) << 0) While pmd_huge() there relies on PMD_TABLE_BIT () int pmd_huge(pmd_t pmd) { return pmd_val(pmd) && !(pmd_val(pmd) & PMD_TABLE_BIT); } #define PMD_TABLE_BIT (_AT(pmdval_t, 1) << 1) These are just the trivial details that I wanted to avoid to touch in this series, so as to resolve the hugetlb issue separately from others. The new pmd_huge_or_thp() is not ideal, but that easily isolates all these trivial details / evils out of the picture, so that we can tackle them one by one. It is strictly an OR or huge||thp, so it's hopefully safe to not break anything yet from that regard. > > I spot checked a couple arches and it looks like it holds up. > > Further, it looks to me like this site in GUP is the only core code > caller.. > > So, I'd suggest a small series to go arch by arch and convert the arch > to use pmd_huge() == pmd_leaf().

The arch > should ensure that pmd_devmap() implies pmd_leaf(). Since devmap is a > purely SW construct it almost certainly does already anyhow. Yep, but only if pmd_leaf() is safe to be put here. A pmd devmap should always imply as a pmd_leaf() indeed. Thanks,

Adding even more subtly different variations is not helping. I think pmd_leaf means the entry is present and refers to a physical page not another radix level. > > eg x86 does: > > > > #define pmd_leaf pmd_large > > static inline int pmd_large(pmd_t pte) > > return pmd_flags(pte) & _PAGE_PSE; > > > > static inline int pmd_trans_huge(pmd_t pmd) > > return (pmd_val(pmd) & (_PAGE_PSE|_PAGE_DEVMAP)) == _PAGE_PSE; > > > > int pmd_huge(pmd_t pmd) > > return !pmd_none(pmd) && > > (pmd_val(pmd) & (_PAGE_PRESENT|_PAGE_PSE)) != _PAGE_PRESENT; > > For example, here I don't think it's strictly pmd_leaf()?

Yikes, but do you even want to handle non-present entries in GUP world? Isn't everything gated by !present in the first place? > Besides that, there're also other cases where it's not clear of such direct > replacement, not until further investigated.
