The page fault handler attempts to use the page_table_lock only for short
time periods. It repeatedly drops and reacquires the lock. When the lock
is reacquired, checks are made if the underlying pte has changed before
replacing the pte value. These locations are a good fit for the use of
ptep_cmpxchg.
The following patch allows the use of atomic operations to remove first
acquisition of the page_table_lock. A section
using atomic pte operations is begun with
page_table_atomic_start(struct mm_struct *)
and ends with
page_table_atomic_stop(struct mm_struct *)
Both of these become spin_lock(page_table_lock) and
spin_unlock(page_table_lock) if atomic page table operations are not
configured (CONFIG_ATOMIC_TABLE_OPS undefined).
Atomic pte operations using pte_xchg and pte_cmpxchg only work for the lowest
layer of the page table. Higher layers may also be populated in an atomic
way by defining pmd_test_and_populate() etc. The generic versions of these
functions fall back to the page_table_lock. Populating higher level page
table entries is rare and therefore this is not likely to be performance
critical. For ia64 a definition of higher level atomic operations is
included.
This patch depends on the patch to avoid spurious page faults to be applied
first and will only remove the first acquisition of the page_table_lock in
the page fault handler. This will allow the following page table operations
without acquiring the page_table_lock:
1. Updating of access bits (handle_mm_fault)
2. Anonymous read faults (do_anonymous_page)
The page_table_lock is still acquired for creating a new pte for an anonymous
write fault and therefore the problems with atomic updates of rss do not yet occur.
The patch also adds some diagnostic features by counting the number of cmpxchg
failures (useful for verification if this patch works right) and the number of
page faults that led to no change in the page table. The statistics may be
accessed via /proc/meminfo.
