[RFC 02/14] s390/mm: Improve locking for huge page backings

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

 



The gmap guest_table_lock is used to protect changes to the guest's
DAT tables from region 1 to segments. Therefore it also protects the
host to guest radix tree where each new segment mapping by gmap_link()
is tracked. Changes to ptes are synchronized through the pte lock,
which is easyly retrievable, because the gmap shares the page tables
with userspace.

With huge pages the story changes. PMD tables are not shared and we're
left with the pmd lock on userspace side and the guest_table_lock on
the gmap side. Having two locks for an object is a guarantee for
locking problems.

Therefore the guest_table_lock will only be used for population of the
gmap tables and hence protecting the host_to_guest tree. While the pmd
lock will be used for all changes to the pmd from both userspace and
the gmap.

This means we need to retrieve the vmaddr to retrieve a gmap pmd,
which takes a bit longer than before. But we can now operate on
multiple pmds which are in disjoint segment tables instead of having a
global lock.
