Message-ID: <20060424123513.GF15817@skybase> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org From: Martin Schwidefsky From: Hubertus Franke From: Himanshu Raj Return-Path: To: linux-mm@kvack.org, akpm@osdl.org, frankeh@watson.ibm.com, rhim@cc.gatech.edu List-ID: [patch 5/8] Page host virtual assist: writable page table entries. The volatile state for page cache and swap cache pages requires that the host system needs to be able to determine if a volatile page is dirty before removing it. This excludes almost all platforms from using hva. What is needed is a way to distinguish between pages that are purely read-ony and pages that might get written to. This allows platforms with per-pte dirty bits to use hva and platforms with per-page dirty bits a small optimization. Whenever a writable pte is created a check is added that allows to move the page into the correct state. This needs to be done before the writable pte is established. To avoid unnecessary state transitions and the need for a counter, a new page flag PG_writable is added. Only the creation of the first writable pte will do a page state change. Even if all the writable ptes pointing to a page are removed again, the page stays in the safe state until all users of the page have unmapped it again. Only then is the PG_writable bit reset. The state a page needs to have if a writable pte is present depends on the platform. A platform with per-pte dirty bits wants to move the page into stable state, a platform with per-page dirty bits like s390 can decide to move the page into a special state that requires the host system to check the dirty bit before discarding a page.
