[PATCH] arch: metag: kernel: dma.c: check 'pud' whether is NULL in dma_alloc_init()

[Chen Gang]

Like another p?d_alloc(), pud_alloc() also may fail, so need check it.

NAK.

pud_alloc folds to pud_offset on Meta so it cannot fail.

If so, can pmd_alloc() be fail?

I checked the related definitions, it seems a little complex, can we
assume p?d_alloc() are in the same condition?

No. pmd_alloc folds to pmd_offset so it also cannot fail, and the
existing !pmd check is dead code. The following would be better.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] metag: dma: remove dead code in dma_alloc_init()

Meta has 2 levels of page table so the pmd folds into the pud which
folds into the pgd. Therefore the !pmd check in dma_alloc_init() is dead
code since it essentially checks whether:
  (init_mm->pgd + 0x770) == 0

Remove the check.

Hi James,

"Meta has 2 levels of page table", so it use
"#define pud_alloc(mm, pgd, address)	(pgd)", right?
and if the arch is x86_64, we should check the pmd and pud, right?

Thanks,

Essentially yes. It uses the definitions in include/linux/mm.h:

> {
> 	return (unlikely(pgd_none(*pgd)) && __pud_alloc(mm, pgd, address))?

> }

arch/metag/include/asm/pgtable.h includes asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h
which includes asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h, so:

pgd_none() is always 0
__pud_alloc() is always 0
pud_alloc() = pud_offset() = pgd

pud_none() is always 0
__pmd_alloc() is always 0
pmd_alloc() = pmd_offset() = pud

> and if the arch is x86_64, we should check the pmd and pud, right?

I believe x86_64 uses 4 level page tables so yes, but you're probably
best off checking the relevant definitions, disassembling some code, or
asking the x86 maintainers. I believe there's been an article or two
about 4 level page tables on LWN too.

James

Hi James,

__PAGETABLE_PUD_FOLDED and __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED are defined,
so __pud_alloc() and __pmd_alloc() always return 0, 
and pud_offset() just return (pud_t *)pgd, pmd_offset() just return (pmd_t *)pud,
is that right?

Thanks,
Xishi Qiu

Yes exactly (although technically __pud_alloc() and __pmd_alloc() would
never get called due to pgd_none() and pud_none() returning 0, but it
makes little difference).

Thank all of you (originally, I did not notice about "linux/mm.h"
include "asm/pgtable.h" -- which maybe be a common sense).
