So my question is do we need the complexity of seqcount_t for this ?
It seems that using regular int as counter and also relying on vm_flags
when vma is unmap should do the trick.
vma_delete(struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
...
/*
* Make sure the vma is mark as invalid ie neither read nor write
* so that speculative fault back off. A racing speculative fault
* will either see the flags as 0 or the new seqcount.
*/
vma->vm_flags = 0;
smp_wmb();
vma->seqcount++;
...
}
Then:
speculative_fault_begin(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
struct spec_vmf *spvmf)
{
...
spvmf->seqcount = vma->seqcount;
smp_rmb();
spvmf->vm_flags = vma->vm_flags;
if (!spvmf->vm_flags) {
// Back off the vma is dying ...
...
}
}
bool speculative_fault_commit(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
struct spec_vmf *spvmf)
{
...
seqcount = vma->seqcount;
smp_rmb();
vm_flags = vma->vm_flags;
if (spvmf->vm_flags != vm_flags || seqcount != spvmf->seqcount) {
// Something did change for the vma
return false;
}
return true;
}
This would also avoid the lockdep issue described below. But maybe what
i propose is stupid and i will see it after further reviewing thing.
Cheers,
