We can disable a THP split or a hugepage collapse by disabling irq. We do send IPI to all the cpus in the early part of split/collapse, and disabling local irq ensure we don't make progress with split/collapse. If the THP is getting split we return NULL from find_linux_pte_or_hugepte(). For all the current callers it should be ok. We need to be careful if we want to use returned pte_t pointer outside the irq disabled region. W.r.t to THP split, the pfn remains the same, but then a hugepage collapse will result in a pfn change. There are few steps we can take to avoid a hugepage collapse.One way is to take page reference inside the irq disable region. Other option is to take mmap_sem so that a parallel collapse will not happen. We can also disable collapse by taking pmd_lock. Another method used by kvm subsystem is to check whether we had a mmu_notifer update in between using mmu_notifier_retry().
