This hunk broke
mm-update_page_reclaim_stat-is-called-from-page-fault-path.patch.
I fixed it thusly:
/*
* Found the page and have a reference on it.
* We must recheck i_size under page lock.
*/
size = (i_size_read(inode) + PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1) >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT;
if (unlikely(offset >= size)) {
unlock_page(page);
page_cache_release(page);
return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;
}
+ update_page_reclaim_stat(page);
ra->prev_pos = (loff_t)offset << PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT;
vmf->page = page;
return ret | VM_FAULT_LOCKED;
which seems logical to me.
Although now I look at it, it seems that
mm-update_page_reclaim_stat-is-called-from-page-fault-path.patch should
go into 2.6.30?
Ah. But I have a note here that I didn't like it, because it adds lots
of new spinlocking to fastpaths. So I'll leave things as they stand
until we have had a little talk about that.
From: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@...fujitsu.com>
Unfortunately, the following two patches had conflicting concepts.
1. commit 9ff473b9a72942c5ac0ad35607cae28d8d59ed7a
(vmscan: evict streaming IO first)
2. commit bf3f3bc5e734706730c12a323f9b2068052aa1f0
(mm: don't mark_page_accessed in fault path)
(1) requires that a page fault update reclaim stat via
mark_page_accessed(), but
(2) removed mark_page_accessed().
However, (1) actually only needed to update reclaim stat, but not activate
the page. Then, the fault-path can call update_page_reclaim_stat() to
solve this conflict.
