[PATCH v2 14/32] mm/userfaultfd: retry if pte_offset_map() fails

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

 



Instead of worrying whether the pmd is stable, userfaultfd_must_wait()
call pte_offset_map() as before, but go back to try again if that fails.

Risk of endless loop?  It already broke out if pmd_none(), !pmd_present()
or pmd_trans_huge(), and pte_offset_map() would have cleared pmd_bad():
which leaves pmd_devmap().  Presumably pmd_devmap() is inappropriate in
a vma subject to userfaultfd (it would have been mistreated before),
but add a check just to avoid all possibility of endless loop there.
