[PATCH 28/83] mm: Change timing of notification to IOMMUs about a page to be invalidated

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

 



From: Andrew Lewycky <Andrew.Lewycky@xxxxxxx>

This patch changes the location of the mmu_notifier_invalidate_page function
call inside try_to_unmap_one. The mmu_notifier_invalidate_page function
call tells the IOMMU that a pgae should be invalidated.

The location is changed from after releasing the physical page to
before releasing the physical page.

This change should prevent the bug that would occur in the
(rare) case where the GPU attempts to access a page while the CPU
attempts to swap out that page (or discard it if it is not dirty).
