Subject: [merged] khugepaged-collapse_pte_mapped_thp-flush-the-right-range.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Sun, 09 Aug 2020 19:40:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200810024029.oQCllf2gD%akpm@linux-foundation.org> (raw)
The patch titled
Subject: khugepaged: collapse_pte_mapped_thp() flush the right range
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
khugepaged-collapse_pte_mapped_thp-flush-the-right-range.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>
Subject: khugepaged: collapse_pte_mapped_thp() flush the right range
pmdp_collapse_flush() should be given the start address at which the huge
page is mapped, haddr: it was given addr, which at that point has been
used as a local variable, incremented to the end address of the extent.
Found by source inspection while chasing a hugepage locking bug, which I
then could not explain by this. At first I thought this was very bad;
then saw that all of the page translations that were not flushed would
actually still point to the right pages afterwards, so harmless; then
realized that I know nothing of how different architectures and models
cache intermediate paging structures, so maybe it matters after all -
particularly since the page table concerned is immediately freed.
Much easier to fix than to think about.
