Subject: [PATCH 2/2] userfaultfd: Don't BUG_ON() if khugepaged yanks our page table
Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2024 18:42:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240812-uffd-thp-flip-fix-v1-2-4fc1db7ccdd0@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240812-uffd-thp-flip-fix-v1-0-4fc1db7ccdd0@google.com>
Since khugepaged was changed to allow retracting page tables in file
mappings without holding the mmap lock, these BUG_ON()s are wrong - get rid
of them.
We could also remove the preceding "if (unlikely(...))" block, but then
we could reach pte_offset_map_lock() with transhuge pages not just for file
mappings but also for anonymous mappings - which would probably be fine but
I think is not necessarily expected.
