[PATCH v2] mm/hmm/test: use xa_for_each_range instead of looping

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

 



The test driver uses an xa_array to store virtual to physical address
translations for a simulated hardware device. The MMU notifier
invalidation callback is used to keep the table consistent with the CPU
page table and is frequently called only for a page or two. However, if
the test process exits unexpectedly or is killed, the range can be
[0..ULONG_MAX] in which case calling xa_erase() for every possible PFN
results in CPU timeouts.
Use xa_for_each_range() to efficiently erase entries in the range.

This patch is based on Jason Gunthorpe's hmm tree and should be folded
into the ("mm/hmm/test: add selftest driver for HMM") patch once this
patch is reviewed, etc.

v1 -> v2:
Use xa_for_each_range() instead of special casing [0..ULONG_MAX].
