Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: call mmu notifiers on hugepage cow
Date: Thu, 27 May 2010 13:43:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BFED954.8060807@cray.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 440 bytes --]

From: Doug Doan <dougd@cray.com>

When a copy-on-write occurs, we take one of two paths in handle_mm_fault: 
through handle_pte_fault for normal pages, or through hugetlb_fault for huge pages.

In the normal page case, we eventually get to do_wp_page and call mmu notifiers 
via ptep_clear_flush_notify. There is no callout to the mmmu notifiers in the 
huge page case. This patch fixes that.
