[PATCH v5] hugetlb: simplify hugetlb handling in follow_page_mask

Mon Oct 31 09:58:25 AEDT 2022


During discussions of this series [1], it was suggested that hugetlb
handling code in follow_page_mask could be simplified.  At the beginning
of follow_page_mask, there currently is a call to follow_huge_addr which
'may' handle hugetlb pages.  ia64 is the only architecture which provides
a follow_huge_addr routine that does not return error.  Instead, at each
level of the page table a check is made for a hugetlb entry.  If a hugetlb
entry is found, a call to a routine associated with that entry is made.

Currently, there are two checks for hugetlb entries at each page table
level.  The first check is of the form:
        if (p?d_huge())
                page = follow_huge_p?d();
the second check is of the form:
        if (is_hugepd())
                page = follow_huge_pd().

We can replace these checks, as well as the special handling routines
such as follow_huge_p?d() and follow_huge_pd() with a single routine to
handle hugetlb vmas.

A new routine hugetlb_follow_page_mask is called for hugetlb vmas at the
beginning of follow_page_mask.  hugetlb_follow_page_mask will use the
existing routine huge_pte_offset to walk page tables looking for hugetlb
entries.  huge_pte_offset can be overwritten by architectures, and already
handles special cases such as hugepd entries.

v5 -	Remove left over hugetlb_vma_unlock_read
v4 -    Remove vma (pmd sharing) locking as this can be called with
        FOLL_NOWAIT. Peter
v3 -    Change WARN_ON_ONCE() to BUILD_BUG() as reminded by Christophe Leroy
v2 -    Added WARN_ON_ONCE() and updated comment as suggested by David
        Fixed build issue found by kernel test robot
        Added vma (pmd sharing) locking to hugetlb_follow_page_mask
        ReBased on Baolin's patch to fix issues with CONT_* entries
