[PATCH v2 0/1] mm: Xen PV regression after THP PTE optimization

Hi all,

I recently discovered an mm regression introduced in kernel version 6.9
that affects systems running as a Xen PV domain [1]. Original fix
proposal wasn't ideal, but it sparked a discussion which helped us
fully understand the root cause.

The new v2 patch contains changes based on David Hildenbrand's proposal
to cap max_nr to the number of PFNs that actually remain in the folio
and to clean up the loop.

Thanks,
Petr
