[PATCH 1/2] mm/madvise: allow process_madvise operations on entire memory range

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

 



process_madvise requires a vector of address ranges to be provided for
its operations. When an advice should be applied to the entire process,
the caller process has to obtain the list of VMAs of the target process
by reading the /proc/pid/maps or some other way. The cost of this
operation grows linearly with increasing number of VMAs in the target
process. Even constructing the input vector can be non-trivial when
target process has several thousands of VMAs and the syscall is being
issued during high memory pressure period when new allocations for such
a vector would only worsen the situation.
In the case when advice is being applied to the entire memory space of
the target process, this creates an extra overhead.
Add PMADV_FLAG_RANGE flag for process_madvise enabling the caller to
advise a memory range of the target process. For now, to keep it simple,
only the entire process memory range is supported, vec and vlen inputs
in this mode are ignored and can be NULL and 0.
Instead of returning the number of bytes that advice was successfully
applied to, the syscall in this mode returns 0 on success. This is due
to the fact that the number of bytes would not be useful for the caller
that does not know the amount of memory the call is supposed to affect.
Besides, the ssize_t return type can be too small to hold the number of
bytes affected when the operation is applied to a large memory range.
