Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/4] userfaultfd, shmem: use a VMA callback to handle UFFDIO_CONTINUE
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2025 13:46:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251117114631.2029447-3-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251117114631.2029447-1-rppt@kernel.org>
From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>
When userspace resolves a page fault in a shmem VMA with UFFDIO_CONTINUE
it needs to get a folio that already exists in the pagecache backing
that VMA.
Instead of using shmem_get_folio() for that, add a get_pagecache_folio()
method to 'struct vm_operations_struct' that will return a folio if it
exists in the VMA's pagecache at given pgoff.
Implement get_pagecache_folio() method for shmem and slightly refactor
userfaultfd's mfill_atomic() and mfill_atomic_pte_continue() to support
this new API.
