From: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@xxxxxxxxxx> This patchset are the improvements to mmu_notifier i wish to discuss at next LSF/MM. I am sending now to give time to people to look at them and think about them. git://people.freedesktop.org/~glisse/linux mmu-notifier-rfc https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~glisse/linux/log/?h=mmu-notifier-rfc First patch just use a struct for invalidate_range_start/end arguments this make the other 2 patches easier and smaller. The idea is to provide more information to mmu_notifier listener on the context of each invalidation. When a range is invalidated this can be for various reasons (munmap, protection change, OOM, ...). If listener can distinguish between those it can take better action. For instance if device driver allocate structure to track a range of virtual address prior to this patch it always have to assume that it has to free those on each mmu_notifieir callback (having to assume it is a munmap) and reallocate those latter when the device try to do something with that range again. OOM is also an interesting case, recently a patchset was added to avoid OOM on a mm if a blocking mmu_notifier listener have been registered [1]. This can be improve by adding a new OOM event type and having listener take special path on those. All mmu_notifier i know can easily have a special path for OOM that do not block (beside taking a short lived, across driver, spinlock). If mmu_notifier usage grows (from a point of view of more process using devices that rely on them) then we should also make sure OOM can do its bidding. The last part of the patchset is to allow more concurrency between a range being invalidated and someone wanting to look at CPU page table for a different range of address. I don't have any benchmark for those but i expect this will be common with HMM and mirror once we can run real workload. It can also replace lot of custom and weird counting of active mmu_notifier done listener side (KVM, ODP, ...) with some- thing cleaner. I have try to leverage all this in KVM but it did not seems to give any significant performance improvements (KVM patches at [2]). Tested with the host kernel using this patchset and KVM patches, and running thing like kernel compilation in the guest. Maybe it is not the kind of work- load that can benefit from this.
