[PATCH v3 00/25] fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts

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

 



Main updates since v2:

 - Rename the DAX specific dax_insert_XXX functions to vmf_insert_XXX
   and have them pass the vmf struct.

 - Seperate out the device DAX changes.

 - Restore the page share mapping counting and associated warnings.

 - Rework truncate to require file-systems to have previously called
   dax_break_layout() to remove the address space mapping for a
   page. This found several bugs which are fixed by the first half of
   the series. The motivation for this was initially to allow the FS
   DAX page-cache mappings to hold a reference on the page.

   However that turned out to be a dead-end (see the comments on patch
   21), but it found several bugs and I think overall it is an
   improvement so I have left it here.

Device and FS DAX pages have always maintained their own page
reference counts without following the normal rules for page reference
counting. In particular pages are considered free when the refcount
hits one rather than zero and refcounts are not added when mapping the
page.

Tracking this requires special PTE bits (PTE_DEVMAP) and a secondary
mechanism for allowing GUP to hold references on the page (see
get_dev_pagemap). However there doesn't seem to be any reason why FS
DAX pages need their own reference counting scheme.

By treating the refcounts on these pages the same way as normal pages
we can remove a lot of special checks. In particular pXd_trans_huge()
becomes the same as pXd_leaf(), although I haven't made that change
here. It also frees up a valuable SW define PTE bit on architectures
that have devmap PTE bits defined.

It also almost certainly allows further clean-up of the devmap managed
functions, but I have left that as a future improvment. It also
enables support for compound ZONE_DEVICE pages which is one of my
primary motivators for doing this work.
