Subject: [PATCH v2 09/12] mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE for m68k-motorola
Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2026 13:32:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908-rcu-pagetable-freeing-v2-9-1f60b64e878e@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908-rcu-pagetable-freeing-v2-0-1f60b64e878e@kernel.org>
sun3 and coldfire are already supported, however motorola requires a little
more care.
Here, custom table removal logic is required, so
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE is enabled for m68k-motorola.
Firstly as part of this change, the page table level must be communicated
to the underlying __tlb_remove_table() implementation.
Take advantage of the fact that page tables are aligned by more than enough
to permit setting TABLE_PTE or TABLE_PMD in the low bits of the pointer,
and store this there.
Then update __pte_free_tlb() and __pmd_free_tlb() to pass this through,
then have __tlb_remove_table() decode this and pass it to
free_pointer_table().
The page table freeing is performed via call_rcu(), so free_pointer_table()
now will be invoked from softirq context, and as such may be re-entrant.
Introduce an irq save/restore spinlock to handle this, and hold it over the
time a given ptable entry is being referenced in both get_pointer_table()
and free_pointer_table().
In order to make things a little easier in this respect, separate out the
logic for adding a new ptable entry into add_pointer_table() and only hold
the lock during ptable entry insertion in this case.
Note that original list_add_tail(new, dp) added new prior to dp, which is
ptable_list[type].next, i.e. after ptable_list[type].
The equivalent therefore is list_add(new, &ptable_list[type]), which adds
new after ptable_list[type], only without needing to make reference to dp.
Note that, as m68k-motorola specifies CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE, it
does not enable CONFIG_PT_RECLAIM. This isn't meaningfully impactful.
With this applied, all of m68k implements CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE.
This forms part of an overall effort to switch every architecture to this
mode.
