[v3,05/13] powerpc: add pte_free_defer() for pgtables sharing page

Commit Message

Hugh Dickins July 12, 2023, 4:35 a.m. UTC

Add powerpc-specific pte_free_defer(), to free table page via call_rcu().
pte_free_defer() will be called inside khugepaged's retract_page_tables()
loop, where allocating extra memory cannot be relied upon.  This precedes
the generic version to avoid build breakage from incompatible pgtable_t.

This is awkward because the struct page contains only one rcu_head, but
that page may be shared between PTE_FRAG_NR pagetables, each wanting to
use the rcu_head at the same time.  But powerpc never reuses a fragment
once it has been freed: so mark the page Active in pte_free_defer(),
before calling pte_fragment_free() directly; and there call_rcu() to
pte_free_now() when last fragment is freed and the page is PageActive.
