This patch updates mm/pagewalk.c to make code less complex and more maintenable.
The basic idea is unchanged and there's no userspace visible effect.
Most of existing callback functions need access to vma to handle each entry.
So we had better add a new member vma in struct mm_walk instead of using
mm_walk->private, which makes code simpler.
One problem in current page table walker is that we check vma in pgd loop.
Historically this was introduced to support hugetlbfs in the strange manner.
It's better and cleaner to do the vma check outside pgd loop.
Another problem is that many users of page table walker now use only
pmd_entry(), although it does both pmd-walk and pte-walk. This makes code
duplication and fluctuation among callers, which worsens the maintenability.
One difficulty of code sharing is that the callers want to determine
whether they try to walk over a specific vma or not in their own way.
To solve this, this patch introduces test_walk() callback.
When we try to use multiple callbacks in different levels, skip control is
also important. For example we have thp enabled in normal configuration, and
we are interested in doing some work for a thp. But sometimes we want to
split it and handle as normal pages, and in another time user would handle
both at pmd level and pte level.
What we need is that when we've done pmd_entry() we want to decide whether
to go down to pte level handling based on the pmd_entry()'s result. So this
patch introduces a skip control flag in mm_walk.
We can't use the returned value for this purpose, because we already
defined the meaning of whole range of returned values (>0 is caller
defined termination of page table walk, =0 is to continue to walk,
and <0 is to abort the walk.)
ChangeLog v2:
- rebase onto mmots
- add pte_none() check in walk_pte_range()
- add cond_sched() in walk_hugetlb_range()
- add skip_check()
- do VM_PFNMAP check only when ->test_walk() is not defined (because some
caller could handle VM_PFNMAP vma. copy_page_range() is an example.)
- use do-while condition (addr < end) instead of (addr != end)

/**
- * walk_page_range - walk a memory map's page tables with a callback
- * @addr: starting address
- * @end: ending address
- * @walk: set of callbacks to invoke for each level of the tree
+ * walk_page_range - walk page table with caller specific callbacks
*
- * Recursively walk the page table for the memory area in a VMA,
- * calling supplied callbacks. Callbacks are called in-order (first
- * PGD, first PUD, first PMD, first PTE, second PTE... second PMD,
- * etc.). If lower-level callbacks are omitted, walking depth is reduced.
+ * Recursively walk the page table tree of the process represented by
+ * @walk->mm within the virtual address range [@start, @end). In walking,
+ * we can call caller-specific callback functions against each entry.
*
- * Each callback receives an entry pointer and the start and end of the
- * associated range, and a copy of the original mm_walk for access to
- * the ->private or ->mm fields.
+ * Before starting to walk page table, some callers want to check whether
+ * they really want to walk over the vma (for example by checking vm_flags.)
+ * walk_page_test() and @walk->test_walk() do that check.
*
- * Usually no locks are taken, but splitting transparent huge page may
- * take page table lock. And the bottom level iterator will map PTE
- * directories from highmem if necessary.
+ * If any callback returns a non-zero value, the page table walk is aborted
+ * immediately and the return value is propagated back to the caller.
+ * Note that the meaning of the positive returned value can be defined
+ * by the caller for its own purpose.
*
- * If any callback returns a non-zero value, the walk is aborted and
- * the return value is propagated back to the caller. Otherwise 0 is returned.
+ * If the caller defines multiple callbacks in different levels, the
+ * callbacks are called in depth-first manner. It could happen that
+ * multiple callbacks are called on a address. For example if some caller
+ * defines test_walk(), pmd_entry(), and pte_entry(), then callbacks are
+ * called in the order of test_walk(), pmd_entry(), and pte_entry().
+ * If you don't want to go down to lower level at some point and move to
+ * the next entry in the same level, you set @walk->skip to 1.
+ * For example if you succeed to handle some pmd entry as trans_huge entry,
+ * you need not call walk_pte_range() any more, so set it to avoid that.
+ * We can't determine whether to go down to lower level with the return
+ * value of the callback, because the whole range of return values (0, >0,
+ * and <0) are used up for other meanings.
*
- * walk->mm->mmap_sem must be held for at least read if walk->hugetlb_entry
- * is !NULL.
+ * Each callback can access to the vma over which it is doing page table
+ * walk right now via @walk->vma. @walk->vma is set to NULL in walking
+ * outside a vma. If you want to access to some caller-specific data from
+ * callbacks, @walk->private should be helpful.
+ *
+ * The callers should hold @walk->mm->mmap_sem. Note that the lower level
+ * iterators can take page table lock in lowest level iteration and/or
+ * in split_huge_page_pmd().
