14 * The mmu notifier_mm structure is allocated and installed in
15 * mm->mmu_notifier_mm inside the mm_take_all_locks() protected
16 * critical section and it's released only when mm_count reaches zero
17 * in mmdrop().
19 struct mmu_notifier_mm {
20 /* all mmu notifiers registerd in this mm are queued in this list */
21 struct hlist_head list;
22 /* to serialize the list modifications and hlist_unhashed */
23 spinlock_t lock;
26 struct mmu_notifier_ops {
28 * Called either by mmu_notifier_unregister or when the mm is
29 * being destroyed by exit_mmap, always before all pages are
30 * freed. This can run concurrently with other mmu notifier
31 * methods (the ones invoked outside the mm context) and it
32 * should tear down all secondary mmu mappings and freeze the
33 * secondary mmu. If this method isn't implemented you've to
34 * be sure that nothing could possibly write to the pages
35 * through the secondary mmu by the time the last thread with
36 * tsk->mm == mm exits.
38 * As side note: the pages freed after ->release returns could
39 * be immediately reallocated by the gart at an alias physical
40 * address with a different cache model, so if ->release isn't
41 * implemented because all _software_ driven memory accesses
42 * through the secondary mmu are terminated by the time the
43 * last thread of this mm quits, you've also to be sure that
44 * speculative _hardware_ operations can't allocate dirty
45 * cachelines in the cpu that could not be snooped and made
46 * coherent with the other read and write operations happening
47 * through the gart alias address, so leading to memory
48 * corruption.
50 void (*release)(struct mmu_notifier *mn,
51 struct mm_struct *mm);
54 * clear_flush_young is called after the VM is
55 * test-and-clearing the young/accessed bitflag in the
56 * pte. This way the VM will provide proper aging to the
57 * accesses to the page through the secondary MMUs and not
58 * only to the ones through the Linux pte.
60 int (*clear_flush_young)(struct mmu_notifier *mn,
61 struct mm_struct *mm,
62 unsigned long address);
65 * change_pte is called in cases that pte mapping to page is changed:
66 * for example, when ksm remaps pte to point to a new shared page.
68 void (*change_pte)(struct mmu_notifier *mn,
69 struct mm_struct *mm,
70 unsigned long address,
71 pte_t pte);
74 * Before this is invoked any secondary MMU is still ok to
75 * read/write to the page previously pointed to by the Linux
76 * pte because the page hasn't been freed yet and it won't be
77 * freed until this returns. If required set_page_dirty has to
78 * be called internally to this method.
80 void (*invalidate_page)(struct mmu_notifier *mn,
81 struct mm_struct *mm,
82 unsigned long address);
85 * invalidate_range_start() and invalidate_range_end() must be
86 * paired and are called only when the mmap_sem and/or the
87 * locks protecting the reverse maps are held. The subsystem
88 * must guarantee that no additional references are taken to
89 * the pages in the range established between the call to
90 * invalidate_range_start() and the matching call to
91 * invalidate_range_end().
93 * Invalidation of multiple concurrent ranges may be
94 * optionally permitted by the driver. Either way the
95 * establishment of sptes is forbidden in the range passed to
96 * invalidate_range_begin/end for the whole duration of the
97 * invalidate_range_begin/end critical section.
99 * invalidate_range_start() is called when all pages in the
100 * range are still mapped and have at least a refcount of one.
102 * invalidate_range_end() is called when all pages in the
103 * range have been unmapped and the pages have been freed by
104 * the VM.
106 * The VM will remove the page table entries and potentially
107 * the page between invalidate_range_start() and
108 * invalidate_range_end(). If the page must not be freed
109 * because of pending I/O or other circumstances then the
110 * invalidate_range_start() callback (or the initial mapping
111 * by the driver) must make sure that the refcount is kept
112 * elevated.
114 * If the driver increases the refcount when the pages are
115 * initially mapped into an address space then either
116 * invalidate_range_start() or invalidate_range_end() may
117 * decrease the refcount. If the refcount is decreased on
118 * invalidate_range_start() then the VM can free pages as page
119 * table entries are removed. If the refcount is only
120 * droppped on invalidate_range_end() then the driver itself
121 * will drop the last refcount but it must take care to flush
122 * any secondary tlb before doing the final free on the
123 * page. Pages will no longer be referenced by the linux
124 * address space but may still be referenced by sptes until
125 * the last refcount is dropped.

130 void (*invalidate_range_end)(struct mmu_notifier *mn,
131 struct mm_struct *mm,

136 * The notifier chains are protected by mmap_sem and/or the reverse map
137 * semaphores. Notifier chains are only changed when all reverse maps and
138 * the mmap_sem locks are taken.
140 * Therefore notifier chains can only be traversed when either
142 * 1. mmap_sem is held.
143 * 2. One of the reverse map locks is held (i_mmap_lock or anon_vma->lock).
144 * 3. No other concurrent thread can access the list (release)
