From 45cac65b0fcd287ebb877b141d40ba9bbe8e5da7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shaohua Li Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2012 16:32:19 -0700 Subject: readahead: fault retry breaks mmap file read random detection .fault now can retry. The retry can break state machine of .fault. In filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased. In the second try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased. And these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access. Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once. In the second try, skip ra->mmap_miss decreasing. The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it. I only tested x86, didn't test other archs, but looks the change for other archs is obvious, but who knows :) Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li Cc: Rik van Riel Cc: Wu Fengguang Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- include/linux/mm.h | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'include/linux') diff --git a/include/linux/mm.h b/include/linux/mm.h index b01e585ab4b5..bcaab4e6fe91 100644 --- a/include/linux/mm.h +++ b/include/linux/mm.h @@ -161,6 +161,7 @@ extern pgprot_t protection_map[16]; #define FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY 0x08 /* Retry fault if blocking */ #define FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT 0x10 /* Don't drop mmap_sem and wait when retrying */ #define FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE 0x20 /* The fault task is in SIGKILL killable region */ +#define FAULT_FLAG_TRIED 0x40 /* second try */ /* * vm_fault is filled by the the pagefault handler and passed to the vma's -- cgit v1.2.3
