Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 06/12] mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE for sparc64
Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2026 12:43:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908124321.988241F00A3A@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908-rcu-pagetable-freeing-v2-6-1f60b64e878e@kernel.org>
> Commit 4a0100f7546f ("sparc64: use RCU page table freeing") enabled
> CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE for SMP sparc64 architectures, expressly
> for GUP-fast page table walkers.
>
> Naturally, UP systems do not have to worry about concurrent GUP fast
> operations.
>
> However, CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU is also available even on a UP system, so a
> future pure-RCU page table walker requires MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE to be
> enabled on UP, even if concurrent GUP fast is not possible there.
>
> To enable future pure-RCU page table walkers, enable
> MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE unconditionally.
>
> With this change, it is no longer necessary to have !CONFIG_SMP
> pgtable_free_tlb(), so also remove this now dead code.
>
> This forms part of an overall effort to switch every architecture to this
> mode.
