Subject: [PATCH RFC 08/17] userfaultfd, shmem: use a VMA callback to handle UFFDIO_CONTINUE
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2026 21:29:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260127192936.1250096-9-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260127192936.1250096-1-rppt@kernel.org>
From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>
When userspace resolves a page fault in a shmem VMA with UFFDIO_CONTINUE
it needs to get a folio that already exists in the pagecache backing
that VMA.
Instead of using shmem_get_folio() for that, add a get_folio_noalloc()
method to 'struct vm_uffd_ops' that will return a folio if it exists in
the VMA's pagecache at given pgoff.
Implement get_folio_noalloc() method for shmem and slightly refactor
userfaultfd's mfill_get_vma() and mfill_atomic_pte_continue() to support
this new API.
