[PATCH v2 hmm 04/11] mm/hmm: Simplify hmm_get_or_create and make it reliable

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

As coded this function can false-fail in various racy situations. Make it
reliable by running only under the write side of the mmap_sem and avoiding
the false-failing compare/exchange pattern.

Also make the locking very easy to understand by only ever reading or
writing mm->hmm while holding the write side of the mmap_sem.

v2:
- Fix error unwind of mmgrab (Jerome)
- Use hmm local instead of 2nd container_of (Jerome)
