Subject: [RFC PATCH] arch, mm: introduce arch_tlb_gather_mmu_exit
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@...e.com>
5a7862e83000 ("arm64: tlbflush: avoid flushing when fullmm == 1") has
introduced an optimization to not flush tlb when we are tearing the
whole address space down. Will goes on to explain
: Basically, we tag each address space with an ASID (PCID on x86) which
: is resident in the TLB. This means we can elide TLB invalidation when
: pulling down a full mm because we won't ever assign that ASID to
: another mm without doing TLB invalidation elsewhere (which actually
: just nukes the whole TLB).
This all is nice but tlb_gather users are not aware of that and this can
actually cause some real problems. E.g. the oom_reaper tries to reap the
whole address space but it might race with threads accessing the memory [1].
It is possible that soft-dirty handling might suffer from the same
problem [2] as soon as it starts supporting the feature.
Introduce an explicit exit variant tlb_gather_mmu_exit which allows the
behavior arm64 implements for the fullmm case and replace it by an
explicit exit flag in the mmu_gather structure. exit_mmap path is then
turned into the explicit exit variant. Other architectures simply ignore
the flag.

Hi,
I am sending this as an RFC because I am not fully familiar with the tlb
gather arch implications, espacially the semantic of fullmm. Therefore
I might duplicate some of its functionality. I hope people on the CC
list will help me to sort this out.
Comments? Objections?
