This fixes a FIXME in migrate_vma_check_page(). Before migrating a page migration code will take a reference and check there are no unexpected page references, failing the migration if there are. When a thread faults on a migration entry it will take a temporary reference to the page to wait for the page to become unlocked signifying the migration entry has been removed. This reference is dropped just prior to waiting on the page lock, however the extra reference can cause migration failures so it is desirable to avoid taking it. As migration code already has a reference to the migrating page an extra reference to wait on PG_locked is unnecessary so long as the reference can't be dropped whilst setting up the wait. When faulting on a migration entry the ptl is taken to check the migration entry. Removing a migration entry also requires the ptl, and migration code won't drop its page reference until after the migration entry has been removed. Therefore retaining the ptl of a migration entry is sufficient to ensure the page has a reference. Reworking migration_entry_wait() to hold the ptl until the wait setup is complete means the extra page reference is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com> --- Trying to refactor some of folio_wait_bit_common() into common functions didn't seem to end up making things simpler so I've left it as a manual inline into migration_entry_wait_on_locked() for now. The only change needed to folio_wait_bit_common() is a behaviour that replaces folio_put() with pte_unmap_unlock(). I think adding the extra two arguments (ptep and ptl) to folio_wait_bit_common() is a bit messy, however it's borderline and I could go either way so happy to do that if others disagree. v2: - Rebase to master with folios - Avoid taking a pageref in pmd_migration_entry_wait() as well --- include/linux/pagemap.h | 2 + mm/filemap.c | 85 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ mm/migrate.c | 33 ++-------------- 3 files changed, 91 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-)
