[PATCH v2 2/2] hugetlb: use same fault hash key for shared and private mappings

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

 



hugetlb uses a fault mutex hash table to prevent page faults of the
same pages concurrently.  The key for shared and private mappings is
different.  Shared keys off address_space and file index.  Private
keys off mm and virtual address.  Consider a private mappings of a
populated hugetlbfs file.  A write fault will first map the page from
the file and then do a COW to map a writable page.

Hugetlbfs hole punch uses the fault mutex to prevent mappings of file
pages.  It uses the address_space file index key.  However, private
mappings will use a different key and could temporarily map the file
page before COW.  This causes problems (BUG) for the hole punch code
as it expects the mutex to prevent additional uses/mappings of the page.

There seems to be another potential COW issue/race with this approach
of different private and shared keys as notes in commit 8382d914ebf7
("mm, hugetlb: improve page-fault scalability").

Since every hugetlb mapping (even anon and private) is actually a file
mapping, just use the address_space index key for all mappings.  This
results in potentially more hash collisions.  However, this should not
be the common case.
