Subject: wait_split_huge_page() dependence on rmap.h
Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2011 15:31:15 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1296516675.7797.5110.camel@nimitz> (raw)
wait_split_huge_page() is really only used in a few spots at the moment.
I was trying to use it in fs/proc/task_mmu.c, but simply including
huge_mm.h gets this:
fs/proc/task_mmu.c: In function a??smaps_pte_rangea??:
fs/proc/task_mmu.c:392: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
I think it's due to the __anon_vma dereference below. #including rmap.h
makes it go away, but I don't think it's really the correct thing to do
here. Directly including rmap.h in huge_mm.h ends up with some really
interesting header dependencies and does not work either.
Any ideas? Should we move the existing huge_mm.h stuff to a private
header and have a more public one that also brings in rmap.h?
#define wait_split_huge_page(__anon_vma, __pmd) \
do { \
pmd_t *____pmd = (__pmd); \
spin_unlock_wait(&(__anon_vma)->root->lock); \
/* \
* spin_unlock_wait() is just a loop in C and so the \
* CPU can reorder anything around it. \
*/ \
smp_mb(); \
BUG_ON(pmd_trans_splitting(*____pmd) || \
pmd_trans_huge(*____pmd)); \
} while (0)
