From 8f860591ffb29738cf5539b6fbf27f50dcdeb380 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Zhang, Yanmin" Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 00:08:50 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Enable mprotect on huge pages 2.6.16-rc3 uses hugetlb on-demand paging, but it doesn_t support hugetlb mprotect. From: David Gibson Remove a test from the mprotect() path which checks that the mprotect()ed range on a hugepage VMA is hugepage aligned (yes, really, the sense of is_aligned_hugepage_range() is the opposite of what you'd guess :-/). In fact, we don't need this test. If the given addresses match the beginning/end of a hugepage VMA they must already be suitably aligned. If they don't, then mprotect_fixup() will attempt to split the VMA. The very first test in split_vma() will check for a badly aligned address on a hugepage VMA and return -EINVAL if necessary. From: "Chen, Kenneth W" On i386 and x86-64, pte flag _PAGE_PSE collides with _PAGE_PROTNONE. The identify of hugetlb pte is lost when changing page protection via mprotect. A page fault occurs later will trigger a bug check in huge_pte_alloc(). The fix is to always make new pte a hugetlb pte and also to clean up legacy code where _PAGE_PRESENT is forced on in the pre-faulting day. Signed-off-by: Zhang Yanmin Cc: David Gibson Cc: "David S.
