mm: pgtable: convert some architectures to use tlb_remove_ptdesc()

2025-04-01T22:17:13+00:00

Now, the nine architectures of csky, hexagon, loongarch, m68k, mips, nios2, openrisc, sh and um do not select CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, and just call pagetable_dtor() + tlb_remove_page_ptdesc() (the wrapper of tlb_remove_page()). This is the same as the implementation of tlb_remove_{ptdesc|table}() under !CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE, so convert these architectures to use tlb_remove_ptdesc(). The ultimate goal is to make the architecture only use tlb_remove_ptdesc() or tlb_remove_table() for page table pages.

mm: pgtable: introduce pagetable_dtor()

2025-01-26T04:22:22+00:00

The pagetable_p*_dtor() are exactly the same except for the handling of ptlock. If we make ptlock_free() handle the case where ptdesc->ptl is NULL and remove VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() from pmd_ptlock_free(), we can unify pagetable_p*_dtor() into one function. Let's introduce pagetable_dtor() to do this. Later, pagetable_dtor() will be moved to tlb_remove_ptdesc(), so that ptlock and page table pages can be freed together (regardless of whether RCU is used). This prevents the use-after-free problem where the ptlock is freed immediately but the page table pages is freed later via RCU.

Revert "nios2: Convert __pte_free_tlb() to use ptdescs"

This reverts commit 6ebe94baa2b9ddf3ccbb7f94df6ab26234532734. The patch "nios2: Convert __pte_free_tlb() to use ptdescs" was supposed to go together with a patchset that Vishal Moola had planned taking it through the mm tree. By just having this patch, all NIOS2 builds are broken. Signed-off-by: Dinh Nguyen Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

MIPS&LoongArch&NIOS2: adjust prototypes of p?d_init()

2022-12-12T02:12:11+00:00

Patch series "mm/sparse-vmemmap: Generalise helpers and enable for LoongArch", v14. This series is in order to enable sparse-vmemmap for LoongArch. But LoongArch cannot use generic helpers directly because MIPS&LoongArch need to call pgd_init()/pud_init()/pmd_init() when populating page tables. So we adjust the prototypes of p?d_init() to make generic helpers can call them, then enable sparse-vmemmap with generic helpers, and to be further, generalise vmemmap_populate_hugepages() for ARM64, X86 and LoongArch. This patch (of 4): We are preparing to add sparse vmemmap support to LoongArch. MIPS and LoongArch need to call pgd_init()/pud_init()/pmd_init() when populating page tables, so adjust their prototypes to make generic helpers can call them. NIOS2 declares pmd_init() but doesn't use, just remove it to avoid build errors.

mm/thp: define default pmd_pgtable()

2021-07-01T18:06:03+00:00

Currently most platforms define pmd_pgtable() as pmd_page() duplicating the same code all over. Instead just define a default value i.e pmd_page() for pmd_pgtable() and let platforms override when required via . All the existing platform that override pmd_pgtable() have been moved into their respective header in order to precede before the new generic definition. This makes it much cleaner with reduced code.

mm: treewide: clarify pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() naming

2019-09-26T17:10:44+00:00

The naming of pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() seems to have confused a few people, and until recently arm64 used these erroneously/pointlessly for other levels of page table. To make it incredibly clear that these only apply to the PTE level, and to align with the naming of pgtable_pmd_page_{ctor,dtor}(), let's rename them to pgtable_pte_page_{ctor,dtor}(). These changes were generated with the following shell script: ---- git grep -lw 'pgtable_page_.tor' | while read FILE; do sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_ctor/pgtable_pte_page_ctor/}' $FILE; sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_dtor/pgtable_pte_page_dtor/}' $FILE; done ---- ... with the documentation re-flowed to remain under 80 columns, and whitespace fixed up in macros to keep backslashes aligned. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

mm: remove quicklist page table caches

2019-09-24T22:54:09+00:00

Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches". A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1]. I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to use generic versions of PTE allocation. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com This patch (of 3): Remove page table allocator "quicklists". These have been around for a long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only used on ia64 and sh architectures. The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't apply anymore. If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator behaviour for minor archs. Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page allocator if this is still so slow.
