mm: replace set_pte_at_notify() with just set_pte_at()

2024-04-12T08:40:27+00:00

With the demise of the .change_pte() MMU notifier callback, there is no notification happening in set_pte_at_notify(). It is a synonym of set_pte_at() and can be replaced with it.

mmu_notifier: remove the .change_pte() callback

2024-04-11T17:18:36+00:00

The scope of set_pte_at_notify() has reduced more and more through the years. Initially, it was meant for when the change to the PTE was not bracketed by mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}(). However, that has not been so for over ten years. During all this period the only implementation of .change_pte() was KVM and it had no actual functionality, because it was called after mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() zapped the secondary PTE. Now that this (nonfunctional) user of the .change_pte() callback is gone, the whole callback can be removed. For now, leave in place set_pte_at_notify() even though it is just a synonym for set_pte_at().

Document what mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start_nonblock() is for. Also add a __must_check annotation to signal that callers must bail out if a notifier vetoes the operation.

mmu_notifiers: rename invalidate_range notifier

2023-08-18T17:12:41+00:00

There are two main use cases for mmu notifiers. One is by KVM which uses mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()/end() to manage a software TLB. The other is to manage hardware TLBs which need to use the invalidate_range() callback because HW can establish new TLB entries at any time. Hence using start/end() can lead to memory corruption as these callbacks happen too soon/late during page unmap. mmu notifier users should therefore either use the start()/end() callbacks or the invalidate_range() callbacks. To make this usage clearer rename the invalidate_range() callback to arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs() and update documention.

mmu_notifiers: don't invalidate secondary TLBs as part of mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end()

2023-08-18T17:12:41+00:00

Secondary TLBs are now invalidated from the architecture specific TLB invalidation functions. Therefore there is no need to explicitly notify or invalidate as part of the range end functions. This means we can remove mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end_only() and some of the ptep_*_notify() functions.

mm/mmu_notifier: remove unused mmu_notifier_range_update_to_read_only export

2023-02-03T06:32:54+00:00

mmu_notifier_range_update_to_read_only() was originally introduced in commit c6d23413f81b ("mm/mmu_notifier: mmu_notifier_range_update_to_read_only() helper") as an optimisation for device drivers that know a range has only been mapped read-only. However there are no users of this feature so remove it. As it is the only user of the struct mmu_notifier_range.vma field remove that also.

mm: device exclusive memory access

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

Some devices require exclusive write access to shared virtual memory (SVM) ranges to perform atomic operations on that memory. This requires CPU page tables to be updated to deny access whilst atomic operations are occurring. In order to do this introduce a new swap entry type (SWP_DEVICE_EXCLUSIVE). When a SVM range needs to be marked for exclusive access by a device all page table mappings for the particular range are replaced with device exclusive swap entries. This causes any CPU access to the page to result in a fault. Faults are resovled by replacing the faulting entry with the original mapping. This results in MMU notifiers being called which a driver uses to update access permissions such as revoking atomic access. After notifiers have been called the device will no longer have exclusive access to the region. Walking of the page tables to find the target pages is handled by get_user_pages() rather than a direct page table walk. A direct page table walk similar to what migrate_vma_collect()/unmap() does could also have been utilised. However this resulted in more code similar in functionality to what get_user_pages() provides as page faulting is required to make the PTEs present and to break COW.

mm: rename migrate_pgmap_owner

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

MMU notifier ranges have a migrate_pgmap_owner field which is used by drivers to store a pointer. This is subsequently used by the driver callback to filter MMU_NOTIFY_MIGRATE events. Other notifier event types can also benefit from this filtering, so rename the 'migrate_pgmap_owner' field to 'owner' and create a new notifier initialisation function to initialise this field.
