Tracking of dirty pages in shared writeable mmap()s.
The idea is simple: write protect clean shared writeable pages, catch the
write-fault, make writeable and set dirty. On page write-back clean all the
PTE dirty bits and write protect them once again.
The implementation is a tad harder, mainly because the default
backing_dev_info capabilities were too loosely maintained. Hence it is not
enough to test the backing_dev_info for cap_account_dirty.
The current heuristic is as follows, a VMA is eligible when:
- its shared writeable
(vm_flags & (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)) == (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)
- it is not a 'special' mapping
(vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_INSERTPAGE)) == 0
- the backing_dev_info is cap_account_dirty
mapping_cap_account_dirty(vma->vm_file->f_mapping)
- f_op->mmap() didn't change the default page protection
Page from remap_pfn_range() are explicitly excluded because their COW
semantics are already horrid enough (see vm_normal_page() in do_wp_page()) and
because they don't have a backing store anyway.
mprotect() is taught about the new behaviour as well. However it overrides
the last condition.
Cleaning the pages on write-back is done with page_mkclean() a new rmap call.
It can be called on any page, but is currently only implemented for mapped
pages, if the page is found the be of a VMA that accounts dirty pages it will
also wrprotect the PTE.
Finally, in fs/buffers.c:try_to_free_buffers(); remove clear_page_dirty() from
under ->private_lock. This seems to be safe, since ->private_lock is used to
serialize access to the buffers, not the page itself. This is needed because
clear_page_dirty() will call into page_mkclean() and would thereby violate
locking order.
