Commit Message

Alistair Popple June 27, 2024, 12:54 a.m. UTC
Currently to map a DAX page the DAX driver calls vmf_insert_pfn. This
creates a special devmap PTE entry for the pfn but does not take a
reference on the underlying struct page for the mapping. This is
because DAX page refcounts are treated specially, as indicated by the
presence of a devmap entry.

To allow DAX page refcounts to be managed the same as normal page
refcounts introduce dax_insert_pfn. This will take a reference on the
underlying page much the same as vmf_insert_page, except it also
permits upgrading an existing mapping to be writable if
requested/possible.

No need for the extern.

Overly long line.

.. same here.

This could probably use a kerneldoc comment.

Overall this looks good to me. Some comments below.

You don't seem to use this function in this patch?

If you do this like:

		if (!mkwrite)
			return -EBUSY;

You can reduce indentation of the big block and also making the flow more
obvious...

I'd prefer:

	entry = mk_pte(page, prot);
	if (mkwrite)
		entry = maybe_mkwrite(entry, vma);

but I don't insist. Also insert_pfn() additionally has pte_mkyoung() and
pte_mkdirty(). Why was it left out here?

We have this comparably nasty vmf_insert_mixed() that FS dax abused to 
insert into !VM_MIXED VMAs. Is that abuse now stopping and are there 
maybe ways to get rid of vmf_insert_mixed()?

It's not something I've looked at but quite possibly - there are a
couple of other users of vmf_insert_mixed() that would need to be
removed though. I just added this as dax_insert_pfn() because as an API
it is really specific to the DAX use case. For example a more general
API would likely pass a page/folio.

Unfortunately it is also used by a few drm drivers and not just DAX.

At least they all seem to set VM_MIXED:

* fs/cramfs/inode.c does
* drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/fbdev.c does
* drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/omap_gem.c does

Only DAX (including drivers/dax/device.c) doesn't.

VM_MIXEDMAP handling for DAX was changed in

     dax: remove VM_MIXEDMAP for fsdax and device dax

After prepared by

commit 785a3fab4adbf91b2189c928a59ae219c54ba95e
Author: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
Date:   Mon Oct 23 07:20:00 2017 -0700

     mm, dax: introduce pfn_t_special()

     In support of removing the VM_MIXEDMAP indication from DAX VMAs,
     introduce pfn_t_special() for drivers to indicate that _PAGE_SPECIAL
     should be used for DAX ptes.

I wonder if there are ways forward to either remove vmf_insert_mixed() 
or at least require it (as the name suggests) to have VM_MIXEDMAP set.

Thanks, bad rebase splitting this up. It belongs later in the series.

An oversight by me, thanks for pointing it out!
