This means you should put your SOB above the first "---". Also this would be good to capture the discussion about the performance implications of the different page mask sizes with test results in the commit log as well.

The memory pinning code in uaccess_with_memcpy.c does not check for HugeTLB or THP pmds, and will enter an infinite loop should a __copy_to_user or __clear_user occur against a huge page. This patch adds detection code for huge pages to pin_page_for_write. As this code can be executed in a fast path it refers to the actual pmds rather than the vma. If a HugeTLB or THP is found (they have the same pmd representation on ARM), the page table spinlock is taken to prevent modification whilst the page is pinned. On ARM, huge pages are only represented as pmds, thus no huge pud checks are performed. (For huge puds one would lock the page table in a similar manner as in the pmd case). Two helper functions are introduced; pmd_thp_or_huge will check whether or not a page is huge or transparent huge (which have the same pmd layout on ARM), and pmd_hugewillfault will detect whether or not a page fault will occur on write to the page. --- Changes since second RFC: * After some more thought about the potential impact on the overall latency, I have decided not to widen the page mask for huge pages. Changes since first RFC: * The page mask is widened for hugepages to reduce the number of potential locks/unlocks. (A knobbled /dev/zero with its latency reduction chunks removed shows a 2x data rate boost with hugepages backing: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=10M count=1024 ) --- Signed-off-by: Steve Capper <steve.capper@linaro.org> --- arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h | 3 +++ arch/arm/lib/uaccess_with_memcpy.c | 41 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 2 files changed, 41 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
