      [PATCH] core remove PageReserved · b5810039
      由 Nick Piggin 提交于 
      Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED
handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality.

PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page.

All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged
in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount
based freeing of Reserved pages.

MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being
deprecated.  We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be
reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept).

Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all
arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can
be trivially removed.

Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to
determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not.  This still
needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work).

A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and
thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss).  These writes to the struct
page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems.  There are a
number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

      [PATCH] x86_64: Set up safe page tables during resume · 3dd08325
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      The following patch makes swsusp avoid the possible temporary corruption
of page translation tables during resume on x86-64.  This is achieved by
creating a copy of the relevant page tables that will not be modified by
swsusp and can be safely used by it on resume.

The problem is that during resume on x86-64 swsusp may temporarily
corrupt the page tables used for the direct mapping of RAM.  If that
happens, a page fault occurs and cannot be handled properly, which leads
to the solid hang of the affected system.  This leads to the loss of the
system's state from before suspend and may result in the loss of data or
the corruption of filesystems, so it is a serious issue.  Also, it
appears to happen quite often (for me, as often as 50% of the time).

The problem is related to the fact that (at least) one of the PMD
entries used in the direct memory mapping (starting at PAGE_OFFSET)
points to a page table the physical address of which is much greater
than the physical address of the PMD entry itself.  Moreover,
unfortunately, the physical address of the page table before suspend
(i.e.  the one stored in the suspend image) happens to be different to
the physical address of the corresponding page table used during resume
(i.e.  the one that is valid right before swsusp_arch_resume() in
arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend_asm.S is executed).  Thus while the image is
restored, the "offending" PMD entry gets overwritten, so it does not
point to the right physical address any more (i.e.  there's no page
table at the address pointed to by it, because it points to the address
the page table has been at during suspend).  Consequently, if the PMD
entry is used later on, and it _is_ used in the process of copying the
image pages, a page fault occurs, but it cannot be handled in the normal
way and the system hangs.

In principle we can call create_resume_mapping() from
swsusp_arch_resume() (ie.  from suspend_asm.S), but then the memory
allocations in create_resume_mapping(), resume_pud_mapping(), and
resume_pmd_mapping() must be made carefully so that we use _only_
NosaveFree pages in them (the other pages are overwritten by the loop in
swsusp_arch_resume()).  Additionally, we are in atomic context at that
time, so we cannot use GFP_KERNEL.  Moreover, if one of the allocations
fails, we should free all of the allocated pages, so we need to trace
them somehow.

All of this is done in the appended patch, except that the functions
populating the page tables are located in arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend.c
rather than in init.c.  It may be done in a more elegan way in the
future, with the help of some swsusp patches that are in the works now.
