From 9da61aef0fd5b17dd4bf4baf33db12c470def774 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Gibson Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 00:08:57 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] hugepage: Fix hugepage logic in free_pgtables() free_pgtables() has special logic to call hugetlb_free_pgd_range() instead of the normal free_pgd_range() on hugepage VMAs. However, the test it uses to do so is incorrect: it calls is_hugepage_only_range on a hugepage sized range at the start of the vma. is_hugepage_only_range() will return true if the given range has any intersection with a hugepage address region, and in this case the given region need not be hugepage aligned. So, for example, this test can return true if called on, say, a 4k VMA immediately preceding a (nicely aligned) hugepage VMA. At present we get away with this because the powerpc version of hugetlb_free_pgd_range() is just a call to free_pgd_range(). On ia64 (the only other arch with a non-trivial is_hugepage_only_range()) we get away with it for a different reason; the hugepage area is not contiguous with the rest of the user address space, and VMAs are not permitted in between, so the test can't return a false positive there. Nonetheless this should be fixed. We do that in the patch below by replacing the is_hugepage_only_range() test with an explicit test of the VMA using is_vm_hugetlb_page(). This in turn changes behaviour for platforms where is_hugepage_only_range() returns false always (everything except powerpc and ia64). We address this by ensuring that hugetlb_free_pgd_range() is defined to be identical to free_pgd_range() (instead of a no-op) on everything except ia64. Even so, it will prevent some otherwise possible coalescing of calls down to free_pgd_range(). Since this only happens for hugepage VMAs, removing this small optimization seems unlikely to cause any trouble. This patch causes no regressions on the libhugetlbfs testsuite - ppc64 POWER5 (8-way), ppc64 G5 (2-way) and i386 Pentium M (UP).
