[PATCH v12 13/31] mm: cache some VMA fields in the vm_fault structure

Laurent Dufour ldufour at linux.ibm.com
Tue Apr 16 23:45:04 AEST 2019


When handling speculative page fault, the vma->vm_flags and
vma->vm_page_prot fields are read once the page table lock is released. So
there is no more guarantee that these fields would not change in our back.
They will be saved in the vm_fault structure before the VMA is checked for
changes.

In the detail, when we deal with a speculative page fault, the mmap_sem is
not taken, so parallel VMA's changes can occurred. When a VMA change is
done which will impact the page fault processing, we assumed that the VMA
sequence counter will be changed.  In the page fault processing, at the
time the PTE is locked, we checked the VMA sequence counter to detect
changes done in our back. If no change is detected we can continue further.
But this doesn't prevent the VMA to not be changed in our back while the
PTE is locked. So VMA's fields which are used while the PTE is locked must
be saved to ensure that we are using *static* values.  This is important
since the PTE changes will be made on regards to these VMA fields and they
need to be consistent. This concerns the vma->vm_flags and
vma->vm_page_prot VMA fields.

This patch also set the fields in hugetlb_no_page() and
__collapse_huge_page_swapin even if it is not need for the callee.
