[PATCH] mm/migrate: properly preserve write attribute in special migrate entry

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

 



From: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@xxxxxxxxxx>

Use of pte_write(pte) is only valid for present pte, the common code
which set the migration entry can be reach for both valid present
pte and special swap entry (for device memory). Fix the code to use
the mpfn value which properly handle both cases.

On x86 this did not have any bad side effect because pte write bit
is below PAGE_BIT_GLOBAL and thus special swap entry have it set to
0 which in turn means we were always creating read only special
migration entry.

So once migration did finish we always write protected the CPU page
table entry (moreover this is only an issue when migrating from device
memory to system memory). End effect is that CPU write access would
fault again and restore write permission.
