[PATCH v3 0/4] Better split_huge_page_test result check
From: Zi Yan
Date: Tue Aug 12 2025 - 12:04:38 EST
This patchset uses kpageflags to get after-split folio orders for a better
split_huge_page_test result check[1]. The added gather_folio_orders() scans
through a VPN range and collects the numbers of folios at different orders.
check_folio_orders() compares the result of gather_folio_orders() to
a given list of numbers of different orders.
This patchset also added new order and in folio offset to the split huge
page debugfs's pr_debug()s;
Changelog
===
>From V2[3]:
1. Added two missing free()s in check_folio_orders().
2. Reimplemented is_backed_by_thp() to use kpageflags to get precise
folio order information and renamed it to is_backed_by_folio() in new
Patch 3.
3. Renamed *_file to *_fd in Patch 2.
4. Indentation fixes.
5. Fixed vaddr stepping issue in gather_folio_orders() when a compound
tail page is encountered.
6. Used pmd_order in place of max_order in split_huge_page_test.c.
7. Documented gather_folio_orders().
>From V1[2]:
1. Dropped split_huge_pages_pid() for loop step change to avoid messing
up with PTE-mapped THP handling. split_huge_page_test.c is changed to
perform split at [addr, addr + pagesize) range to limit one
folio_split() per folio.
2. Moved pr_debug changes in Patch 2 to Patch 1.
3. Moved KPF_* to vm_util.h and used PAGEMAP_PFN instead of local PFN_MASK.
4. Used pagemap_get_pfn() helper.
5. Used char *vaddr and size_t len as inputs to gather_folio_orders() and
check_folio_orders() instead of vpn and nr_pages.
6. Removed variable length variables and used malloc instead.
