From 0ccf7f168e17bb7eb5a322397ba5a841f4fbaccb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Xu Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2022 12:13:28 -0400 Subject: mm/thp: carry over dirty bit when thp splits on pmd Carry over the dirty bit from pmd to pte when a huge pmd splits. It shouldn't be a correctness issue since when pmd_dirty() we'll have the page marked dirty anyway, however having dirty bit carried over helps the next initial writes of split ptes on some archs like x86.
