Changes since v5 [1]: * Compile fixes from a much improved coccinelle semantic patch (thanks Julia!) that adds a 'flags' argument to all the ->mmap() implementations in the kernel. (0day-kbuild-robot) * Make the deprecated MAP_DENYWRITE and MAP_EXECUTABLE flags return EOPNOTSUPP with the new mmap3() syscall. (Kirill) * Minor changelog updates. * Updated cover letter with a clarified summary and checklist of questions to answer before proceeding further. --- MAP_DIRECT is a mechanism to ask the kernel to atomically manage the file-offset to physical-address block relationship of a mapping relative to any memory-mapped access. It is complimentary to the proposed MAP_SYNC mechanism which makes the same guarantee relative to cpu faults. MAP_DIRECT goes a step further and makes this guarantee for agents that may not generate mmu faults, but at the cost of restricting the kernel's ability to mutate the block-map at will. MAP_SYNC is preferred for scenarios that want full filesystem feature support while avoiding fsync/msync overhead, but also do not need to contend with hypervisors or RDMA agents that do not give the kernel an mmu fault. In other words, the need for MAP_DIRECT is driven by the scarcity of SVM capable hardware (Shared Virtual Memory, where hardware generates mmu faults), hypervisors like Xen that need to interrogate the physical address layout of a file to maintain their own physical-address mapping metadata outside the kernel, and peer-to-peer DMA use cases that always bypass the mmu. The MAP_DIRECT mechanism allows a filesystem to be used for capacity provisioning and access control where these aforementioned applications would otherwise be forced to roll a custom solution on top of a raw device-file. Questions: 1/ Is the definition of MAP_DIRECT constrained enough to allow us to make the restrictions it imposes on the kernel finer grained over time? 2/ Do the XFS changes look sane? They attempt to avoid adding any overhead to the non-MAP_DIRECT case at the expense of the new i_mapdcount atomic counter in the XFS inode. 3/ While the generic MAP_DIRECT description warns that the block-map may not be actually be immutable for the lifetime of the mapping it also does not preclude a filesystem from making that guarantee. In fact, Dave wants to be able to get a stable view of the physical mapping [2], and Xen has a need to do the same [3]. Do we want userspace to start making "XFS + MAP_DIRECT == Immutable" assumptions, or do we need a separate mechanism for that guarantee?
