Subject: [PATCH 2/9] uprobes: __replace_page() should not use page_address_in_vma()
Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2012 18:46:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120713164624.GA23542@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120713164552.GA23509@redhat.com>
page_address_in_vma(old_page) in __replace_page() is ugly and wrong.
The caller already knows the correct virtual address, this page was
found by get_user_pages(vaddr).
However, page_address_in_vma() can actually fail if page->mapping was
cleared by __delete_from_page_cache() after get_user_pages() returns.
But this means the race with page reclaim, write_opcode() should not
fail, it should retry and read this page again. Probably the race with
remove_mapping() is not possible due to page_freeze_refs() logic, but
afaics at least shmem_writepage()->shmem_delete_from_page_cache() can
clear ->mapping.
We could change __replace_page() to return -EAGAIN in this case, but
it would be better to simply use the caller's vaddr and rely on
page_check_address().
