[PATCHv3 1/2] mm: introduce vm_ops->map_pages()

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

 



The patch introduces new vm_ops callback ->map_pages() and uses it for
mapping easy accessible pages around fault address.

On read page fault, if filesystem provides ->map_pages(), we try to map
up to FAULT_AROUND_PAGES pages around page fault address in hope to
reduce number of minor page faults.

We call ->map_pages first and use ->fault() as fallback if page by the
offset is not ready to be mapped (cold page cache or something).

+	->map_pages() is called when VM asks to map easy accessible pages.
+Filesystem should find and map pages associated with offsets from "pgoff"
+till "max_pgoff". ->map_pages() is called with page table locked and must
+not block.  If it's not possible to reach a page without blocking,
+filesystem should skip it. Filesystem should use do_set_pte() to setup
+page table entry. Pointer to entry associated with offset "pgoff" is
+passed in "pte" field in vm_fault structure. Pointers to entries for other
+offsets should be calculated relative to "pte".

 	->page_mkwrite() is called when a previously read-only pte is
 about to become writeable. The filesystem again must ensure that there are
 no truncate/invalidate races, and then return with the page locked. If
