Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Change calling convention for ->huge_fault
Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2023 21:23:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230818202335.2739663-1-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
There are two unrelated changes to the calling convention for
->huge_fault. I've bundled them together to help people notice the
change. The first is to improve scalability of DAX page faults by
allowing them to be handled under the VMA lock. The second is to remove
enum page_entry_size since it's really unnecessary. The changelogs
and documentation updates hopefully work to that end.
I vaguely contemplated introducing PTE_ORDER to replace use of the bare
'0' order. I'll happily do it if anyone feels strongly about it.
v2:
- Split into three patches
- Use PAGE_SHIFT instead of PTE_SHIFT to fix build errors on hexagon & csky
Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (3):
mm: Move PMD_ORDER to pgtable.h
mm: Allow ->huge_fault() to be called without the mmap_lock held
mm: Remove enum page_entry_size
