Subject: [PATCH V3] mm/gup.c: stricter check on THP migration entry during follow_pmd_mask
Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2021 10:34:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211217023418.731424-1-lixinhai.lxh@gmail.com> (raw)

When BUG_ON check for THP migration entry, the exsiting code only check
thp_migration_supported case, but not for !thp_migration_supported case.
If !thp_migration_supported() and !pmd_present(), the original code may
dead loop in theory. To make the BUG_ON check consistent, we need catch
both cases.

Move the BUG_ON check one step eariler, because if the bug happen we
should know it instead of depend on FOLL_MIGRATION been used by caller.

Because pmdval instead of *pmd is read by the is_pmd_migration_entry()
check, the existing code don't help to avoid useless locking within
pmd_migration_entry_wait(), so remove that check.

V2->V3:
mention about the dead loop in commit message.

V1->V2:
Move the BUG_ON() check before if(!(flags & FOLL_MIGRATION)); and add comments
for it.
