------------------------------------------------------ From: Peter Xu peterx@redhat.com Subject: mm/migrate: fix wrongly apply write bit after mkdirty on sparc64 Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2023 10:30:59 -0500
Nick Bowler reported another sparc64 breakage after the young/dirty persistent work for page migration (per "Link:" below). That's after a similar report [2].
It turns out page migration was overlooked, and it wasn't failing before because page migration was not enabled in the initial report test environment.
David proposed another way [2] to fix this from sparc64 side, but that patch didn't land somehow. Neither did I check whether there's any other arch that has similar issues.
Let's fix it for now as simple as moving the write bit handling to be after dirty, like what we did before.
Note: this is based on mm-unstable, because the breakage was since 6.1 and we're at a very late stage of 6.2 (-rc8), so I assume for this specific case we should target this at 6.3.
