Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 2/5] userfaultfd, shmem: use a VMA callback to handle UFFDIO_CONTINUE
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2025 10:11:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <dgtxmr3oidq2uoehy4kg5wbcxwghnnbk2w4ilbd3imyqzmvtue@xoggdhie3ncf> (raw)

* Mike Rapoport <rppt@kernel.org> [251125 13:39]:
> 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() method to
> 'struct vm_operations_struct' that will return a folio if it exists in
> the VMA's pagecache at given pgoff.
>
> Implement get_folio() method for shmem and slightly refactor
> userfaultfd's mfill_atomic() and mfill_atomic_pte_continue() to support
> this new API.
