[PATCH 0/3] Add hugetlb MADV_DONTNEED support

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

 



Userfaultfd selftests for hugetlb does not perform UFFD_EVENT_REMAP
testing.  However, mremap support was recently added in commit
550a7d60bd5e ("mm, hugepages: add mremap() support for hugepage backed
vma").  While attempting to enable mremap support in the test, it was
discovered that the mremap test indirectly depends on MADV_DONTNEED.

madvise does not allow MADV_DONTNEED for hugetlb mappings.  However,
that is primarily due to the check in can_madv_lru_vma().  By simply
removing the check and adding huge page alignment, MADV_DONTNEED can
be made to work for hugetlb mappings.

Do note that there is no compelling use case for adding this support.
This was discussed in the RFC [1].  However, adding support makes sense
as it is fairly trivial and brings hugetlb functionality more in line
with 'normal' memory.

After enabling support, add selftest for MADV_DONTNEED as well as
MADV_REMOVE.  Then update userfaultfd selftest.

RFC -> v1
- Fixed alignment issues when calling zap_page_range.  Naoya
- Added checks for invalid arguments and misalignment to selftest.
