Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm: use_mm: fix for arches checking mm_users to optimize TLB flushes
Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2020 15:17:44 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200203201745.29986-2-aarcange@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200203201745.29986-1-aarcange@redhat.com>
alpha, ia64, mips, powerpc, sh, sparc are relying on a check on
mm->mm_users to know if they can skip some remote TLB flushes for
single threaded processes.
Most callers of use_mm() tend to invoke mmget_not_zero() or
get_task_mm() before use_mm() to ensure the mm will remain alive in
between use_mm() and unuse_mm().
Some callers however don't increase mm_users and they instead rely on
serialization in __mmput() to ensure the mm will remain alive in
between use_mm() and unuse_mm(). Not increasing mm_users during
use_mm() is however unsafe for aforementioned arch TLB flushes
optimizations. So either mmget()/mmput() should be added to the
problematic callers of use_mm()/unuse_mm() or we can embed them in
use_mm()/unuse_mm() which is more robust.
