Message-ID: <20040331030921.GA2143@dualathlon.random> (raw)
The xfs warning during truncate will be fixed with a later update
(Nathan is currently working on it).
next thing to do is to fixup the merging in mprotect.
In the meantime this is already mergeable in -mm if Andrew is
interested.
I'm not touching mremap at this time (i'll reistantiate the merging in
mprotect first, then Hugh testcase will work as well as in mainline). I
wait comments on the truncate/mremap race fixes (they clearly partly
collides with prio-tree but part of them seems shareable). That race
isn't trivial to fix but at the same time it doesn't worry me much right
now. I could add the semaphore, but mremap is an extreme fast path for
some workload like apache, so I'm not going to risk a
scalability-slowdown in there with an obviously safe patch of taking the
i_shared_sem semaphore, because even if that race triggers the kernel
shouldn't crash anymore.
