Not all huge_pte helper APIs explicitly provide the size of the huge_pte. So the helpers have to depend on various methods to determine the size of the huge_pte. Some of these methods are dubious. Let's clean up the code to use preferred methods and retire the dubious ones. The options in order of preference: - If size is provided as parameter, use it together with num_contig_ptes(). This is explicit and works for both present and non-present ptes. - If vma is provided as a parameter, retrieve size via huge_page_size(hstate_vma(vma)) and use it together with num_contig_ptes(). This is explicit and works for both present and non-present ptes. - If the pte is present and contiguous, use find_num_contig() to walk the pgtable to find the level and infer the number of ptes from level. Only works for *present* ptes. - If the pte is present and not contiguous and you can infer from this that only 1 pte needs to be operated on. This is ok if you don't care about the absolute size, and just want to know the number of ptes. - NEVER rely on resolving the PFN of a present pte to a folio and getting the folio's size. This is fragile at best, because there is nothing to stop the core-mm from allocating a folio twice as big as the huge_pte then mapping it across 2 consecutive huge_ptes. Or just partially mapping it. Where we require that the pte is present, add warnings if not-present. Reviewed-by:Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Reviewed-by:
