uprobes: split THPs before trying to replace them
Patch series "Fix few rmap-related THP bugs", v3.
The patchset fixes handing PTE-mapped THPs in page_referenced() and
page_idle_clear_pte_refs().
To achieve that I've intrdocued new helper -- page_vma_mapped_walk() --
which replaces all page_check_address{,_transhuge}() and covers all THP
cases.
Patchset overview:
- First patch fixes one uprobe bug (unrelated to the rest of the
patchset, just spotted it at the same time);
- Patches 2-5 fix handling PTE-mapped THPs in page_referenced(),
page_idle_clear_pte_refs() and rmap core;
- Patches 6-12 convert all page_check_address{,_transhuge}() users
(plus remove_migration_pte()) to page_vma_mapped_walk() and drop
unused helpers.
I think the fixes are not critical enough for stable@ as they don't lead
to crashes or hangs, only suboptimal behaviour.
This patch (of 12):
For THPs page_check_address() always fails. It leads to endless loop in
uprobe_write_opcode().
Testcase with huge-tmpfs (uprobes cannot probe anonymous memory).
mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
mount -t tmpfs -o huge=always none /mnt
gcc -Wall -O2 -o /mnt/test -x c - <<EOF
int main(void)
{
return 0;
}
/* Padding to map the code segment with huge pmd */
asm (".zero 2097152");
EOF
echo 'p /mnt/test:0' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/uprobes/enable
/mnt/test
Let's split THPs before trying to replace.
