[PATCH] drm/i915/userptr: Acquire the page lock around set_page_dirty()

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

 



set_page_dirty says:

	For pages with a mapping this should be done under the page lock
	for the benefit of asynchronous memory errors who prefer a
	consistent dirty state. This rule can be broken in some special
	cases, but should be better not to.

	If the mapping doesn't provide a set_page_dirty a_op, then
	just fall through and assume that it wants buffer_heads.

Under those rules, it only safe for us to use the plain set_page_dirty()
calls for shmemfs/anonymous memory. Userptr may be used with real
mappings and so needs to use the locked version (set_page_dirty_lock).
