From 27496a8c67bef4d789d8e3c8317ca35813a507ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 03:20:48 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] gfp_t: fs/* - ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated - missing gfp_t in fs/* added - fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks: XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator. The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a different type for those but for now let's leave them alone. That, BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with no way to catch misuses. Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that immediately... One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is a mix of gfp_t and error indications. Left alone for now.

This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.) In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled. Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally, I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs. So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps change that to 8 later. There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

Otherwise following nasty race can happen: proc 1 proc 2 ------ ------ - write some new data to 'offset' => bh gets to the transactions data list - starts truncate => i_size set to new size - mpage_writepages() - ext3_ordered_writepage() to 'offset' - block_write_full_page() - page->index > end_index+1 - block_invalidatepage() - discard_buffer() - clear_buffer_mapped() - commit triggers and finds unmapped buffer - BOOM!
