Still think this special casing is not that good.
One can also disable migration by providing a migration function that
always fails. One such function exists in mm/migrate.c:
/* Always fail migration. Used for mappings that are not movable */
int fail_migrate_page(struct address_space *mapping,
struct page *newpage, struct page *page)
{
return -EIO;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(fail_migrate_page);
The migration function is specified in
vma->vm_ops->migrate
If that is set to fail_migrate_page() then the pages in the vma will never
be migrated. XFS uses it f.e. to avoid page migration:
STATIC int
xfs_mapping_buftarg(
xfs_buftarg_t *btp,
struct block_device *bdev)
{
struct backing_dev_info *bdi;
struct inode *inode;
struct address_space *mapping;
static const struct address_space_operations mapping_aops = {
.sync_page = block_sync_page,
.migratepage = fail_migrate_page,
};
Would it not be possible to do something similar for the temporary stack?
