Subject: [PATCH] mm/mmu_notifier: kill invalidate_page
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The invalidate_page callback suffered from two pitfalls. First it used
to happen after the page table lock was release and thus a new page
might have setup before the call to invalidate_page() happened.
This is in a weird way fixed by commit c7ab0d2fdc84 ("mm: convert
try_to_unmap_one() to use page_vma_mapped_walk()") that moved the
callback under the page table lock but this also broke several existing
users of the mmu_notifier API that assumed they could sleep inside this
callback.
The second pitfall was invalidate_page() being the only callback not
taking a range of address in respect to invalidation but was giving an
address and a page. Lots of the callback implementers assumed this
could never be THP and thus failed to invalidate the appropriate range
for THP.
By killing this callback we unify the mmu_notifier callback API to
always take a virtual address range as input.
Finally this also simplifies the end user life as there is now two clear
choices:
- invalidate_range_start()/end() callback (which allow you to sleep)
- invalidate_range() where you can not sleep but happen right after
page table update under page table lock
