Message-ID: <20240426040118.B8A79C113CD@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: userfaultfd: early return in dup_userfaultfd()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     userfaultfd-early-return-in-dup_userfaultfd.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: userfaultfd: early return in dup_userfaultfd()
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2024 17:08:35 +0800

When vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx.ctx is NULL, vma->vm_flags should have
cleared __VM_UFFD_FLAGS. Therefore, there is no need to down_write or
clear the flag, which will affect fork performance. Fix this by
returning early if octx is NULL in dup_userfaultfd().

By applying this patch we can get a 1.3% performance improvement for
lmbench fork_prot. Results are as follows:
                   base      early return
Process fork+exit: 419.1106  413.4804
