From d8d55f5616cf3b900a23a72dd24e7b07211e7859 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Muchun Song Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2022 14:45:06 -0700 Subject: mm: sparsemem: use page table lock to protect kernel pmd operations The init_mm.page_table_lock is used to protect kernel page tables, we can use it to serialize splitting vmemmap PMD mappings instead of mmap write lock, which can increase the concurrency of vmemmap_remap_free(). Actually, It increase the concurrency between allocations of HugeTLB pages. But it is not the only benefit. There are a lot of users of mmap read lock of init_mm. The mmap write lock is holding through vmemmap_remap_free(), removing mmap write lock usage to make it does not affect other users of mmap read lock. It is not making anything worse and always a win to move. Now the kernel page table walker does not hold the page_table_lock when walking pmd entries. There may be consistency issue of a pmd entry, because pmd entry might change from a huge pmd entry to a PTE page table. There is only one user of kernel page table walker, namely ptdump. The ptdump already considers the consistency, which use a local variable to cache the value of pmd entry. But we also need to update ->action to ACTION_CONTINUE to make sure the walker does not walk every pte entry again when concurrent thread has split the huge pmd.
