Subject: [PATCH 09/16] mm, swap: free backing pages in xswap_unmap_clusters
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 17:44:59 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827094509.1016740-10-hebaoquan@kylinos.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827094509.1016740-1-hebaoquan@kylinos.cn>
vm_area_unmap_pages() only clears PTEs and frees intermediate page
table pages - it does not free the backing physical pages allocated
by xswap_map_clusters().
Fix this by walking the page table with apply_to_existing_page_range()
before the unmap to collect all struct pages in the range. After
vunmap_range() clears the PTEs, free the collected pages via
__free_page().
Use a simple xswap_page_data collector callback: for each present PTE,
collect pte_page() into a dynamically allocated array. The array is
freed after the pages are released.
