From 1f25fe20a76af0d960172fb104d4b13697cafa84 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2016 16:52:24 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm, thp: adjust conditions when we can reuse the page on WP fault With new refcounting we will be able map the same compound page with PTEs and PMDs. It requires adjustment to conditions when we can reuse the page on write-protection fault. For PTE fault we can't reuse the page if it's part of huge page. For PMD we can only reuse the page if nobody else maps the huge page or it's part. We can do it by checking page_mapcount() on each sub-page, but it's expensive. The cheaper way is to check page_count() to be equal 1: every mapcount takes page reference, so this way we can guarantee, that the PMD is the only mapping. This approach can give false negative if somebody pinned the page, but that doesn't affect correctness. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
