Here you lost hugetlb_put_quota(mapping);

As for regular pages, kernel is used to unlock mm-> page_table_lock
before find_get_page and relock it before setting pte. Why isn't the
style followed by huge page fault?

Whoops, thanks for catching that.

As far as I can tell, we should be able to do that for large pages as
well.  I'll give it a spin.

[UPDATE] [PATCH 0/3] Demand faulting for hugetlb

[Adam Litke]

Sending this out again after incorporating the feedback from Yanmin
Zhang and Dave Hansen.  Are we ready to go for -mm yet?  The only patch
which has seen any recent changes is #2 below so I assume people agree
with #1 and #3 now :)

The three patches:
 1) Remove a get_user_pages() optimization that is no longer valid for
demand faulting
 2) Move fault logic from hugetlb_prefault() to hugetlb_pte_fault()
 3) Apply a simple overcommit check so demand fault accounting behaves
in a manner in line with how prefault worked

Diffed against 2.6.13-git6

Re: [PATCH 2/3 htlb-fault] Demand faulting for hugetlb

[Adam Litke]

Version 3 (Thu, 08 Aug 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 <
	Fixed tlb flushing in a race case  < (thanks Yanmin Zhang)

Version 2 (Wed, 17 Aug 2005)
        Removed spurious WARN_ON()
    Patches added earlier in the series:
        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().

Why to call huge_pte_alloc again? Hugetlb_fault already calls it.

The alignment is not needed. How about change it to ptep =

[PATCH 0/3] Demand faulting for hugetlb

[Adam Litke]

I am sending out the latest set of patches for hugetlb demand faulting.
I've incorporated all the feedback I've received from previous
discussions and I think this is ready for some more widespread testing.
Is anyone opposed to spinning this in -mm as it stands?

The three patches:
 1) Remove a get_user_pages() optimization that is no longer valid for
demand faulting
 2) Move fault logic from hugetlb_prefault() to hugetlb_pte_fault()
 3) Apply a simple overcommit check so demand fault accounting behaves
in a manner in line with how prefault worked
