[AMD Official Use Only - General]The vmf_insert_pfn_prot could cause unnecessary double faults on a device pfn. Because currently the vmf_insert_pfn_prot does not make the pfn writable so the pte entry is normally read-only or dirty catching.What? How do you got to this conclusion?Sorry. I did not mention that this problem only exists on arm64 platform.Ok, that makes at least a little bit more sense.Because on arm64 platform the PTE_RDONLY is automatically attached to the userspace pte entries even through VM_WRITE + VM_SHARE. The PTE_RDONLY needs to be cleared in vmf_insert_pfn_prot. However vmf_insert_pfn_prot do not make the pte writable passing false @mkwrite to insert_pfn.Question is why is arm64 doing this? As far as I can see they must have some hardware reason for that. The mkwrite parameter to insert_pfn() was added by commit b2770da642540 to make insert_pfn() look more like insert_pfn_pmd() so that the DAX code can insert PTEs which are writable and dirty at the same time.This is one scenario to do so. In fact on arm64 there are many scenarios could be to do so. So we can let vmf_insert_pfn_prot supporting @mkwrite for drivers at core layer and let drivers to decide whether or not to make writable and dirty at one time. The patch did this. Otherwise double faults on arm64 when call vmf_insert_pfn_prot.
Well, that doesn't answer my question why arm64 is double faulting in the first place,.
So as long as this isn't sorted out I'm going to reject this patch. Regards, Christian.
This is a completely different use case to what you try to use it here for and that looks extremely fishy to me. Regards, Christian.The first fault only sets up the pte entry which actually is dirty catching. And the second immediate fault to the pfn due to first dirty catching when the cpu re-execute the store instruction.It could be that this is done to work around some hw behavior, but not because of dirty catching.Normally if the drivers call vmf_insert_pfn_prot and also supply 'pfn_mkwrite' callback within vm_operations_struct which requires the pte to be dirty catching then the vmf_insert_pfn_prot and the double fault are reasonable. It is not a problem.Well, as far as I can see that behavior absolutely doesn't make sense. When pfn_mkwrite is requested then the driver should use PAGE_COPY, which is exactly what VMWGFX (the only driver using dirty tracking) isdoing.Everybody else uses PAGE_SHARED which should make the pte writeable immediately. Regards, Christian.However the most of drivers calling vmf_insert_pfn_prot do not supply the 'pfn_mkwrite' callback so that the second fault is unnecessary. So just like vmf_insert_mixed and vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite pair, we should also supply vmf_insert_pfn_mkwrite for drivers as well.
