[PATCH v1 05/12] mm/memory: detect writability in restore_exclusive_pte() through can_change_pte_writable()

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

 



Let's do it just like mprotect write-upgrade or during NUMA-hinting
faults on PROT_NONE PTEs: detect if the PTE can be writable by using
can_change_pte_writable().

Set the PTE only dirty if the folio is dirty: we might not
necessarily have a write access, and setting the PTE writable doesn't
require setting the PTE dirty.

With this change in place, there is no need to have separate
readable and writable device-exclusive entry types, and we'll merge
them next separately.

Note that, during fork(), we first convert the device-exclusive entries
back to ordinary PTEs, and we only ever allow conversion of writable
PTEs to device-exclusive -- only mprotect can currently change them to
readable-device-exclusive. Consequently, we always expect
PageAnonExclusive(page)==true and can_change_pte_writable()==true,
unless we are dealing with soft-dirty tracking or uffd-wp. But reusing
can_change_pte_writable() for now is cleaner.
