[RFC][PATCH 3/6] mm: Provide generic range tracking and flushing

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

 



In order to convert ia64, arm and sh to generic tlb we need to provide
some extra infrastructure to track the range of the flushed page
tables.

There are two mmu_gather cases to consider:

  unmap_region()
    tlb_gather_mmu()
    unmap_vmas()
      for (; vma; vma = vma->vm_next)
        unmao_page_range()
          tlb_start_vma() -> flush cache range
          zap_*_range()
            ptep_get_and_clear_full() -> batch/track external tlbs
            tlb_remove_tlb_entry() -> batch/track external tlbs
            tlb_remove_page() -> track range/batch page
          tlb_end_vma()
    free_pgtables()
      while (vma)
        unlink_*_vma()
        free_*_range()
          *_free_tlb() -> track tlb range
    tlb_finish_mmu() -> flush everything
  free vmas

and:

  shift_arg_pages()
    tlb_gather_mmu()
    free_*_range()
      *_free_tlb() -> track tlb range
    tlb_finish_mmu() -> flush things

There are various reasons that we need to flush TLBs _after_ freeing
the page-tables themselves. For some architectures (x86 among others)
this serializes against (both hardware and software) page table
walkers like gup_fast().  

For others (ARM) this is (also) needed to evict stale page-table
caches - ARM LPAE mode apparently caches page tables and concurrent
hardware walkers could re-populate these caches if the final tlb flush
were to be from tlb_end_vma() since an concurrent walk could still be
in progress.

Now that we fixed flush_tlb_range() to take an mm_struct argument we
can implement the needed range tracking as outlined above.
