Subject: [PATCH v3 04/28] mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times
The idea comes from a discussion between Linus and Andrea [1].
Before this patch we only allow a page fault to retry once. We
achieved this by clearing the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag when doing
handle_mm_fault() the second time. This was majorly used to avoid
unexpected starvation of the system by looping over forever to handle
the page fault on a single page. However that should hardly happen,
and after all for each code path to return a VM_FAULT_RETRY we'll
first wait for a condition (during which time we should possibly yield
the cpu) to happen before VM_FAULT_RETRY is really returned.
This patch removes the restriction by keeping the
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag when we receive VM_FAULT_RETRY. It means
that the page fault handler now can retry the page fault for multiple
times if necessary without the need to generate another page fault
event. Meanwhile we still keep the FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag so page
fault handler can still identify whether a page fault is the first
attempt or not.
Then we'll have these combinations of fault flags (only considering
ALLOW_RETRY flag and TRIED flag):
- ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault allows to
retry, and this is the first try
- ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED: this means the page fault allows to
retry, and this is not the first try
- !ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault does not allow
to retry at all
- !ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED: this is forbidden and should never be used
In existing code we have multiple places that has taken special care
of the first condition above by checking against (fault_flags &
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY). This patch introduces a simple helper to
detect the first retry of a page fault by checking against
both (fault_flags & FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY) and !(fault_flag &
FAULT_FLAG_TRIED) because now even the 2nd try will have the
ALLOW_RETRY set, then use that helper in all existing special paths.
One example is in __lock_page_or_retry(), now we'll drop the mmap_sem
only in the first attempt of page fault and we'll keep it in follow up
retries, so old locking behavior will be retained.
This will be a nice enhancement for current code [2] at the same time
a supporting material for the future userfaultfd-writeprotect work,
since in that work there will always be an explicit userfault
writeprotect retry for protected pages, and if that cannot resolve the
page fault (e.g., when userfaultfd-writeprotect is used in conjunction
with swapped pages) then we'll possibly need a 3rd retry of the page
fault. It might also benefit other potential users who will have
similar requirement like userfault write-protection.
GUP code is not touched yet and will be covered in follow up patch.
Please read the thread below for more information.
