Hi Marc, I just can't figure out why having the mmap lock is not needed to walk the userspace page tables. Any hints? Or am I not seeing where it's taken? On 7/17/21 10:55 AM, Marc Zyngier wrote:

We currently rely on the kvm_is_transparent_hugepage() helper to discover whether a given page has the potential to be mapped as a block mapping. However, this API doesn't really give un everything we want: - we don't get the size: this is not crucial today as we only support PMD-sized THPs, but we'd like to have larger sizes in the future - we're the only user left of the API, and there is a will to remove it altogether To address the above, implement a simple walker using the existing page table infrastructure, and plumb it into transparent_hugepage_adjust(). No new page sizes are supported in the process.

I take it that it is guaranteed that kvm_pgtable_walk() will never fail? For example, I can see it failing if someone messes with KVM_PGTABLE_MAX_LEVELS. To be honest, I would rather have a check here instead of potentially feeding a bogus value to ARM64_HW_PGTABLE_LEVEL_SHIFT. It could be a VM_WARN_ON, so there's no runtime overhead unless CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. The patch looks good to me so far, but I want to give it another look (or two) after I figure out why the mmap semaphone is not needed. Thanks, Alex
