From 4b6e1e37026ec7dae9b23d78ffcebdd5ddb1bfa1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konstantin Khlebnikov Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2012 16:28:40 -0700 Subject: mm: kill vma flag VM_INSERTPAGE Merge VM_INSERTPAGE into VM_MIXEDMAP. VM_MIXEDMAP VMA can mix pure-pfn ptes, special ptes and normal ptes. Now copy_page_range() always copies VM_MIXEDMAP VMA on fork like VM_PFNMAP. If driver populates whole VMA at mmap() it probably not expects page-faults. This patch removes special check from vma_wants_writenotify() which disables pages write tracking for VMA populated via vm_instert_page(). BDI below mapped file should not use dirty-accounting, moreover do_wp_page() can handle this. vm_insert_page() still marks vma after first usage. Usually it is called from f_op->mmap() handler under mm->mmap_sem write-lock, so it able to change vma->vm_flags. Caller must set VM_MIXEDMAP at mmap time if it wants to call this function from other places, for example from page-fault handler.
