Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 10/40] drivers/usb/mon: update to use mmap_prepare + map kernel pages
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 17:18:19 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914171820.219E01F00893@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914-b4-mmap-prepare-vma-flag-sanify-v2-10-7d9781ed5361@kernel.org>

> Replace the deprecated .mmap hook with its replacement .mmap_prepare. As
> part of this change, additionally take the approach of mapping pages upon
> mmap rather than providing a fault handler.
> 
> The page span cannot be mutated when an mmap mapping is in place, so this
> is safe to do in advance (the MON_IOCT_RING_SIZE ioctl operation exits
> -EBUSY if it's attempted, gated by the rp->mmap_active reference count).
> 
> Utilise the newly introduced mmap_action_map_discontig_kernel_pages() to do
> this, which allows for iteration over pages in mon_bin_discontig_get().
> 
> mon_bin_discontig_init() increments the rp->mmap_active reference count to
> stabilise page spans. Should an error arise the core unmaps the VMA and
> mon_bin_vma_close() drops the reference again.
> 
> [ ... ]
> page discarded with MADV_DONTNEED is not repopulated and a subsequent
> access raises SIGBUS, as with other pre-populated kernel mappings.
> 
> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
> Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM) <ljs@kernel.org>
