Commit d7f647622761 ("mm/damon: implement primitives for the virtual
memory address spaces") of linux-mm[1] tries to find PTE or PMD for
arbitrary virtual address using 'follow_invalidate_pte()' without proper
locking[2].  This commit fixes the issue by using another page table
walk function for more general use case under proper locking.

Can you elaborate why mmap_read_lock() isn't sufficient for your use case? The write mode might heavily affect damon performance and workload impact.


Also, I wonder if it wouldn't be much easier and cleaner to just handle it completely in the .pmd_entry callback, instead of returning PMDs, PTEs, LOCKs, ... here.

You could have

static struct mm_walk_ops damon_mkold_ops = {
	.pmd_entry = damon_mkold_pmd_entry,
};

and

static struct mm_walk_ops damon_young_ops = {
	.pmd_entry = damon_young_pmd_entry,
};

And then just handle everything completely inside the callback, avoiding having to return locked PTEs, PMDs, .... and instead handling it at a single location. Simply forward the page_sz pointer in the latter case to damon_young_ops.


damon_va_mkold()/damon_va_young() would mostly only call walk_page_range() with the right ops and eventually convert some return values.
