[PATCH 1/2] hugetlb: demand fault handler

From: Adam Litke
Date: Tue Oct 18 2005 - 17:40:33 EST


Version 5 (Tue, 18 Oct 2005)
Large update from Hugh Dickins to merge with his page_table_lock
scalability patches
Use lock_page() to guard against truncation races
Fault handler hierarchy changed to more closely resemble do_no_page()
Version 4 (Mon, 03 Oct 2005)
Make find_get_huge_page bale properly when add_to_page_cache fails
due to OOM conditions
Version 3 (Thu, 08 Sep 2005)
Organized logic in hugetlb_pte_fault() by breaking out
find_get_page/alloc_huge_page logic into separate function
Removed a few more paranoid checks ( Thanks )
Fixed tlb flushing in a race case ( Yanmin Zhang )

Version 2 (Wed, 17 Aug 2005)
Removed spurious WARN_ON()
Patches added earlier in the series (now in mainline):
Check for p?d_none() in arch/i386/mm/hugetlbpage.c:huge_pte_offset()
Move i386 stale pte check into huge_pte_alloc()

Initial Post (Fri, 05 Aug 2005)

Below is a patch to implement demand faulting for huge pages. The main
motivation for changing from prefaulting to demand faulting is so that
huge page memory areas can be allocated according to NUMA policy.

Thanks to consolidated hugetlb code, switching the behavior requires changing
only one fault handler. The bulk of the patch just moves the logic from
hugelb_prefault() to hugetlb_pte_fault() and find_get_huge_page().
