Subject: mm/autonuma: let architecture override how the write bit should be stashed in a protnone pte.
Patch series "Numabalancing preserve write fix", v2.
This patch series address an issue w.r.t THP migration and autonuma
preserve write feature. migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() cannot deal with
concurrent modification of the page. It does a page copy without
following the migration pte sequence. IIUC, this was done to keep the
migration simpler and at the time of implemenation we didn't had THP
page cache which would have required a more elaborate migration scheme.
That means thp autonuma migration expect the protnone with saved write
to be done such that both kernel and user cannot update
the page content. This patch series enables archs like ppc64 to do that.
We are good with the hash translation mode with the current code,
because we never create a hardware page table entry for a protnone pte.
This patch (of 2):
Autonuma preserves the write permission across numa fault to avoid taking
a writefault after a numa fault (Commit: b191f9b106ea " mm: numa: preserve
PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault"). Architecture can
implement protnone in different ways and some may choose to implement that
by clearing Read/ Write/Exec bit of pte. Setting the write bit on such
pte can result in wrong behaviour. Fix this up by allowing arch to
override how to save the write bit on a protnone pte.
