Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] riscv: pgtable: unconditionally use tlb_remove_ptdesc()
Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2025 11:45:54 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9025595e895515515c95e48db54b29afa489c41d.1740454179.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1740454179.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>
To support fast gup, the commit 69be3fb111e7 ("riscv: enable
MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE for SMP && MMU") did the following:
1) use tlb_remove_page_ptdesc() for those platforms which use IPI to
perform TLB shootdown
2) use tlb_remove_ptdesc() for those platforms which use SBI to perform
TLB shootdown
The tlb_remove_page_ptdesc() is the wrapper of the tlb_remove_page(). By
design, the tlb_remove_page() should be used to remove a normal page from
a page table entry, and should not be used for page table pages.
The tlb_remove_ptdesc() is the wrapper of the tlb_remove_table(), which is
designed specifically for freeing page table pages. If the
CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is enabled, the tlb_remove_table() will use
semi RCU to free page table pages, that is:
- batch table freeing: asynchronous free by RCU
- single table freeing: IPI + synchronous free
If the CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is disabled, the tlb_remove_table()
will fall back to pagetable_dtor() + tlb_remove_page().
For case 1), since we need to perform TLB shootdown before freeing the
page table page, the local_irq_save() in fast gup can block the freeing
and protect the fast gup page walker. Therefore we can ensure safety by
just using tlb_remove_page_ptdesc(). In addition, we can also the
tlb_remove_ptdesc()/tlb_remove_table() to achieve it, and it doesn't
matter whether CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is selected. And in
theory, the performance of freeing pages asynchronously via RCU will not
be lower than synchronous free.
For case 2), since local_irq_save() only disable S-privilege IPI irq but
not M-privilege's, which is used by the SBI implementation to perform TLB
shootdown, so we must select CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE and use
tlb_remove_ptdesc() to ensure safety. The riscv selects this config for
SMP && MMU, the CONFIG_RISCV_SBI is dependent on MMU. Therefore, only the
UP system may have the situation where CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is
disabled but CONFIG_RISCV_SBI is enabled. But there is no freeing vs fast
gup race in the UP system.
So, in summary, we can use tlb_remove_ptdesc() to support fast gup in all
cases, and this interface is specifically designed for page table pages.
So let's use it unconditionally.
