[PATCH v3 14/20] mm: Provide speculative fault infrastructure

Laurent Dufour ldufour at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Sat Sep 9 04:06:58 AEST 2017


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz at infradead.org>

Provide infrastructure to do a speculative fault (not holding
mmap_sem).

The not holding of mmap_sem means we can race against VMA
change/removal and page-table destruction. We use the SRCU VMA freeing
to keep the VMA around. We use the VMA seqcount to detect change
(including umapping / page-table deletion) and we use gup_fast() style
page-table walking to deal with page-table races.

Once we've obtained the page and are ready to update the PTE, we
validate if the state we started the fault with is still valid, if
not, we'll fail the fault with VM_FAULT_RETRY, otherwise we update the
PTE and we're done.

Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz at infradead.org>

[Manage the newly introduced pte_spinlock() for speculative page
 fault to fail if the VMA is touched in our back]
[Rename vma_is_dead() to vma_has_changed() and declare it here]
[Call p4d_alloc() as it is safe since pgd is valid]
[Call pud_alloc() as it is safe since p4d is valid]
[Set fe.sequence in __handle_mm_fault()]
[Abort speculative path when handle_userfault() has to be called]
[Add additional VMA's flags checks in handle_speculative_fault()]
[Clear FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY in handle_speculative_fault()]
[Don't set vmf->pte and vmf->ptl if pte_map_lock() failed]
[Remove warning comment about waiting for !seq&1 since we don't want
 to wait]
[Remove warning about no huge page support, mention it explictly]
[Don't call do_fault() in the speculative path as __do_fault() calls
 vma->vm_ops->fault() which may want to release mmap_sem]
[Only vm_fault pointer argument for vma_has_changed()]
[Fix check against huge page, calling pmd_trans_huge()]
[Introduce __HAVE_ARCH_CALL_SPF to declare the SPF handler only when
 architecture is supporting it]
[Use READ_ONCE() when reading VMA's fields in the speculative path]
[Explicitly check for __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL as we can't support for
 processing done in vm_normal_page()]
[Check that vma->anon_vma is already set when starting the speculative
 path]
[Check for memory policy as we can't support MPOL_INTERLEAVE case due to
 the processing done in mpol_misplaced()]
[Don't support VMA growing up or down]
[Move check on vm_sequence just before calling handle_pte_fault()]
