[PATCH v5 6/6] mm: simplify follow_invalidate_pte()

The only user (DAX) of range and pmdpp parameters of follow_invalidate_pte() is gone, it is safe to remove them and make it static to simlify the code. This is revertant of the following commits: 097963959594 ("mm: add follow_pte_pmd()") a4d1a8852513 ("dax: update to new mmu_notifier semantic"

[PATCH v5 5/6] dax: fix missing writeprotect the pte entry

Currently dax_mapping_entry_mkclean() fails to clean and write protect the pte entry within a DAX PMD entry during an *sync operation. This can result in data loss in the following sequence: 1) process A mmap write to DAX PMD, dirtying PMD radix tree entry and making the pmd entry dirty and

[PATCH v5 4/6] mm: pvmw: add support for walking devmap pages

The devmap pages can not use page_vma_mapped_walk() to check if a huge devmap page is mapped into a vma. Add support for walking huge devmap pages so that DAX can use it in the next patch. Signed-off-by: Muchun Song --- mm/page_vma_mapped.c | 16 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+)

[PATCH v5 3/6] mm: rmap: introduce pfn_mkclean_range() to cleans PTEs

The page_mkclean_one() is supposed to be used with the pfn that has a associated struct page, but not all the pfns (e.g. DAX) have a struct page. Introduce a new function pfn_mkclean_range() to cleans the PTEs (including PMDs) mapped with range of pfns which has no struct page associated with them.

[PATCH v5 2/6] dax: fix cache flush on PMD-mapped pages

The flush_cache_page() only remove a PAGE_SIZE sized range from the cache. However, it does not cover the full pages in a THP except a head page. Replace it with flush_cache_range() to fix this issue. This is just a documentation issue with the respect to properly documenting the expected usage of

[PATCH v5 1/6] mm: rmap: fix cache flush on THP pages

The flush_cache_page() only remove a PAGE_SIZE sized range from the cache. However, it does not cover the full pages in a THP except a head page. Replace it with flush_cache_range() to fix this issue. At least, no problems were found due to this. Maybe because the architectures that have virtual in
