yep, i have read very carefully and think your code is safe here. The
only problem
is that the code can randomly unfold parent processes' CONPTE while setting
wrprotect in the middle of a large folio while it actually should keep CONT
bit as all PTEs can be still consistent if we set protect from the 1st PTE.
while A forks B, progress >= 32 might interrupt in the middle of a
new CONTPTE folio which is forming, as we have to set wrprotect to parent A,
this parent immediately loses CONT bit. this is sad. but i can't find a
good way to resolve it unless CONT is exposed to mm-core. any idea on
this?
Our code[1] resolves this by only breaking at the aligned address
if (progress >= 32) {
progress = 0;
#ifdef CONFIG_CONT_PTE_HUGEPAGE
/*
* XXX: don't release ptl at an unligned address as cont_pte
might form while
* ptl is released, this causes double-map
*/
if (!vma_is_chp_anonymous(src_vma) ||
(vma_is_chp_anonymous(src_vma) && IS_ALIGNED(addr,
HPAGE_CONT_PTE_SIZE)))
#endif
if (need_resched() ||
spin_needbreak(src_ptl) || spin_needbreak(dst_ptl))
break;
}
