[PATCH bpf-next v1] bpf,arena: Remove redundant page mask of vmf->address

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

 



As the comment described in "struct vm_fault":
	".address"      : 'Faulting virtual address - masked'
	".real_address" : 'Faulting virtual address - unmasked'

The link [1] said: "Whatever the routes, all architectures end up to the
invocation of handle_mm_fault() which, in turn, (likely) ends up calling
__handle_mm_fault() to carry out the actual work of allocating the page
tables."

  __handle_mm_fault() does address assignment:
	.address = address & PAGE_MASK,
	.real_address = address,

This is debug dump by running `./test_progs -a "*arena*"`:

[   69.767494] arena fault: vmf->address = 10000001d000, vmf->real_address = 10000001d008
[   69.767496] arena fault: vmf->address = 10000001c000, vmf->real_address = 10000001c008
[   69.767499] arena fault: vmf->address = 10000001b000, vmf->real_address = 10000001b008
[   69.767501] arena fault: vmf->address = 10000001a000, vmf->real_address = 10000001a008
[   69.767504] arena fault: vmf->address = 100000019000, vmf->real_address = 100000019008
[   69.769388] arena fault: vmf->address = 10000001e000, vmf->real_address = 10000001e1e8

So we can use the value of 'vmf->address' to do BPF arena kernel address
space cast directly.
