[PATCH 1/2] mm: avoid marking swap cached page as lazyfree

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

 



From: Shaohua Li <shli@xxxxxx>

MADV_FREE clears pte dirty bit and then marks the page lazyfree (clear
SwapBacked). There is no lock to prevent the page is added to swap cache
between these two steps by page reclaim. If the page is added to swap
cache, marking the page lazyfree will confuse page fault if the page is
reclaimed and refault.
