The patch titled
mm: introduce pte_special pte bit
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-introduce-pte_special-pte-bit.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: mm: introduce pte_special pte bit
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx>
s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory
model (which is more dynamic than most). Instead, they had proposed to
implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in
the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted:
vm_normal_page()
{
...
if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) {
if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) {
#ifdef s390
if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
return NULL;
#else
if (!pfn_valid(pfn))
return NULL;
#endif
goto out;
}
...
}
This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine
refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based
schemes. So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based
scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get
slightly better code generation in the process):
vm_normal_page()
{
#ifdef s390
if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
return NULL;
return pte_page(pte);
#else
...
#endif
}
And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather
than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this.
Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may
not be able to spare pte bits. This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more
ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate.
So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c. It is
currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any
compiled code changes to mm/memory.o.
BTW:
I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion.
The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually
implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it
depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the
only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function --
the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and
accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do
not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and
we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there
out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then
we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I
don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions,
while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both
mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

- * not have pages associated with them - even if the PFN might point to memory
- * that otherwise is perfectly fine and has a "struct page".

+ *
+ * There are 2 broad cases. Firstly, an architecture may define a pte_special()

+ * A raw VM_PFNMAP mapping (ie. one that is not COWed) is always considered a
+ * special mapping (even if there are underlying and valid "struct pages").
+ * COWed pages of a VM_PFNMAP are always normal.
*
* The way we recognize COWed pages within VM_PFNMAP mappings is through the
* rules set up by "remap_pfn_range()": the vma will have the VM_PFNMAP bit
- * set, and the vm_pgoff will point to the first PFN mapped: thus every
- * page that is a raw mapping will always honor the rule

- * A call to vm_normal_page() will return NULL for such a page.
+ * And for normal mappings this is false.
*
- * If the page doesn't follow the "remap_pfn_range()" rule in a VM_PFNMAP
- * then the page has been COW'ed. A COW'ed page _does_ have a "struct page"
- * associated with it even if it is in a VM_PFNMAP range. Calling
- * vm_normal_page() on such a page will therefore return the "struct page".
+ * This restricts such mappings to be a linear translation from virtual address
+ * to pfn. To get around this restriction, we allow arbitrary mappings so long
+ * as the vma is not a COW mapping; in that case, we know that all ptes are
+ * special (because none can have been COWed).
*
*
+ * In order to support COW of arbitrary special mappings, we have VM_MIXEDMAP.
+ *
