Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock
Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2024 15:14:21 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240220231424.126600-1-vishal.moola@gmail.com> (raw)
It is generally safe to handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock. The
only time this is unsafe is when no anon_vma has been allocated to this
vma yet, so we can use vmf_anon_prepare() instead of anon_vma_prepare()
to bailout if necessary. This may only happen for the first non-shared
hugetlb page in the vma.
-----
The last patch in this series may cause ltp hugemmap10 to "fail". This
is expected behavior - see the commit message for patch 3 in this series.
The rest of the ltp hugetlb tests pass.
This patchset applies cleanly ontop of mm-unstable.
Vishal Moola (Oracle) (3):
mm/memory: Change vmf_anon_prepare() to be non-static
hugetlb: Use vmf_anon_prepare() instead of anon_vma_prepare()
hugetlb: Allow faults to be handled under the VMA lock
