[patch 0/5] mm: improve remapping of vmalloc regions

[Nick Piggin]

OK, I've added my fixes, and removed vmalloc_to_pfn as per
Christoph's suggestion.

[patch 1/5] mm: remap_vmalloc_range

[Nick Piggin]

Add a remap_vmalloc_range and get rid of as many remap_pfn_range and
vm_insert_page loops as possible.

remap_vmalloc_range can do a whole lot of nice range checking even
if the caller gets it wrong (which it looks like one or two do).

You've removed the ability for the caller to set the pte protections - it
now always uses vma->vm_page_prot.

They should use vma->vm_page_prot?

The callers affected are the PAGE_SHARED ones (the others are unchanged).
Isn't it correct to provide readonly mappings if userspace asks for it?

I assumed this is why Linus went this way too with the new vm_insert_page
interface.

Dunno.  I assume perfmon was using PAGE_READONLY because it doesn't want
userspace altering the memory.  One would think that this should be
enforced at mmap()-time, and that mprotect() might be able to override it
anyway.  But I haven't looked that closely.

First impression is that there's some potential for breaking stuff in all
this - convince me otherwise ;)

Oh yes definitely, and the perfmon case is OK, because it sets
PAGE_READONLY in ->vm_page_prot. About the mprotect issue -- I'm
not sure, this might be a problem for perfmon?

> First impression is that there's some potential for breaking stuff in all

Well, the PAGE_SHARED guys might break if userspace if they expect to be
able to write to readonly mappings. Unfortunate, but we could just put our
feet down and tell them to fix the code?

When replacing calls to remap_pfn_rage() with calls to remap_valloc_range():

- remap_pfn_range() sets VM_IO|VM_RESERVED|VM_PFNMAP on the user's vma. 
  remap_valloc_range() sets only VM_RESERVED.

- remap_pfn_range() has special handling for COWable user vma's, but
  remap_valloc_range() does not.

- are vma->vm_start and vma->vm_end always a multiple of PAGE_SIZE?  (I
  always forget).  If not, remap_valloc_range() looks a tad buggy.


pls explain.


- remap_valloc_range() can use ~PAGE_MASK, not PAGE_SIZE-1

- remap_valloc_range() would lose a whole buncha typecasts if you use the
  gcc pointer-arith-with-void* extension.

Yep, it doesn't use PFNMAPs (we can always user the underlying struct
 page), nor is it IO space. The only change that should be seen, as
noted in patch 4/5, is that get_user_pages will work on all mappings
now. I don't think there is a downside to this?

That's only for PFNMAPs. COW should continue to work fine.

I hope so.

I initially did that when coding the function in mm/memory.c, but when
adding all the vmalloc range checking I tried to stick with vmalloc
convention.

By "change that should be seen", I mean the only change that
userspace should see.

do_mmap_pgoff() seems to dtrt.  It makes one wonder why vm_start and vm_end
aren't in units of PAGE_SIZE.

Well it's a gccism, and a good one.  We have lots of gccisms and using this
one here will neaten things up.

Sigh, missed nommu, sorry.

vmalloc_to_pfn no longer has any callers left in the kernel. It was previously
used so remap_pfn_range can be used on vmalloc memory, but is obsolete with
the introduction of remap_vmalloc_range.

[patch 4/5] mm: extra remap_vmalloc_range check

[Nick Piggin]

Add a flag to ensure all remap_vmalloc_range memory has been allocated
with the vmalloc _user variants, so data does not get leaked.

[patch 5/5] drivers: leave vm_flags alone

[Nick Piggin]

Get rid of some vm_flags twiddling from driver code. The net result of
this + the last 4 patches is that all converted remap_vmalloc_range
memory can support get_user_pages - do we want that? Can't hurt, can it?

[patch 0/5] mm: improve remapping of vmalloc regions

[Nick Piggin]

Hi,

I'd like some feedback about this patchset -- whether it is the right
design, and the implementation (e.g. people might dislike patch 4).

vm_insert_page and remap_pfn_range loops are really clever, bit
probably asking a bit too much of most drivers. I was able to get
rid of most of them without too much trouble.

Not tested, because I don't have any of the hardware, but it seems
compiles OK.

Nick
