This patch completes Linus's wish that the fault return codes be made into bit flags, which I agree makes everything nicer. This requires requires all handle_mm_fault callers to be modified (possibly the modifications should go further and do things like fault accounting in handle_mm_fault -- however that would be for another patch).

Change ->fault prototype. We now return an int, which contains VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte. FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been locked, and potentially other things. This is not quite the way he wanted it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to arch code). This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were going to do that anyway. struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use without really good reason. The page is now returned via a page pointer in the vm_fault struct.

Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings. ->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping. The hitch here is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie. pgoff). But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation). Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing to be doing. This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and ->populate and (later) ->nopfn. Most of the old mechanism is still in place so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if everyone switches over. The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two. After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in pagecache. Seems like a fringe functionality anyway. NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed. This should be implemented with ->fault, and no users have hit mainline yet.

This patch removes xip_file_sendfile, the sendfile implementation for xip without replacement. Those customers that use xip on s390 are not using sendfile() as far as we know, and so far s390 is the only platform this could potentially be used on so far. Having sendfile is not a popular feature for execute in place file systems, however we have a working implementation of splice_read() based on fs/splice.c if anyone asks for it. At this point in time, it does not seem preferable to merge splice_read() for xip because it causes extra maintenence effort due to code duplication and it requires struct page behind the xip memory segment. We'd like to get rid of that in favor of supporting flash based embedded platforms (Monta Vista work) soon.

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

It's very common for file systems to need to zero part or all of a page, the simplist way is just to use kmap_atomic() and memset(). There's actually a library function in include/linux/highmem.h that does exactly that, but it's confusingly named memclear_highpage_flush(), which is descriptive of *how* it does the work rather than what the *purpose* is. So this patchset renames the function to zero_user_page(), and calls it from the various places that currently open code it. This first patch introduces the new function call, and converts all the core kernel callsites, both the open-coded ones and the old memclear_highpage_flush() ones. Following this patch is a series of conversions for each file system individually, per AKPM, and finally a patch deprecating the old call. The diffstat below shows the entire patchset.

Fix the bug, that reading into xip mapping from /dev/zero fills the user page table with ZERO_PAGE() entries. Later on, xip cannot tell which pages have been ZERO_PAGE() filled by access to a sparse mapping, and which ones origin from /dev/zero. It will unmap ZERO_PAGE from all mappings when filling the sparse hole with data. xip does now use its own zeroed page for its sparse mappings. Please apply.

Nick Piggin points out that page accounting on MIPS multiple ZERO_PAGEs is not maintained by its move_pte, and could lead to freeing a ZERO_PAGE. Instead of complicating that move_pte, just forget the minor optimization when mremapping, and change the one thing which needed it for correctness - filemap_xip use ZERO_PAGE(0) throughout instead of according to address.

To allow various options to work per-mount instead of per-sb we need a struct vfsmount when updating ctime and mtime. This preparation patch replaces the inode_update_time routine with a file_update_atime routine so we can easily get at the vfsmount. (and the file makes more sense in this context anyway). Also get rid of the unused second argument - we always want to update the ctime when calling this routine.

rmap's page_check_address descend without page_table_lock. First just pte_offset_map in case there's no pte present worth locking for, then take page_table_lock for the full check, and pass ptl back to caller in the same style as pte_offset_map_lock. __xip_unmap, page_referenced_one and try_to_unmap_one use pte_unmap_unlock. try_to_unmap_cluster also. page_check_address reformatted to avoid progressive indentation.

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.

This patch includes feedback from Andrew and Christoph. Thanks for taking time to review. Use of empty_zero_page was eliminated to fix compilation for architectures that don't have it. This patch removes setting pages up-to-date in ext2_get_xip_page and all bug checks to verify that the page is indeed up to date. Setting the page state on mapping to userland is bogus.

This patch reworks filemap_xip.c with the goal to reduce code duplication from mm/filemap.c. It applies agains 2.6.12-rc6-mm1. Instead of implementing the aio functions, this one implements the synchronous read/write functions only. For readv and writev, the generic fallback is used. For aio, we rely on the application doing the fallback. Since our "synchronous" function does memcpy immediately anyway, there is no performance difference between using the fallbacks or implementing each operation.
