The linux-next integration testing tree

Now, if CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is selected, the page table pages
will be freed by semi RCU, that is:
- batch table freeing: asynchronous free by RCU
- single table freeing: IPI + synchronous free
In this way, the page table can be lockless traversed by disabling IRQ in
paths such as fast GUP. But this is not enough to free the empty PTE page
table pages in paths other that munmap and exit_mmap path, because IPI
cannot be synchronized with rcu_read_lock() in pte_offset_map{_lock}().
In preparation for supporting empty PTE page table pages reclaimation, let
single table also be freed by RCU like batch table freeing. Then we can
also use pte_offset_map() etc to prevent PTE page from being freed.
Like pte_free_defer(), we can also safely use ptdesc->pt_rcu_head to free
the page table pages:
- The pt_rcu_head is unioned with pt_list and pmd_huge_pte.
- For pt_list, it is used to manage the PGD page in x86. Fortunately
tlb_remove_table() will not be used for free PGD pages, so it is safe
to use pt_rcu_head.
- For pmd_huge_pte, it is used for THPs, so it is safe.
After applying this patch, if CONFIG_PT_RECLAIM is enabled, the function
call of free_pte() is as follows:
free_pte
pte_free_tlb
__pte_free_tlb
___pte_free_tlb
paravirt_tlb_remove_table
tlb_remove_table [!CONFIG_PARAVIRT, Xen PV, Hyper-V, KVM]
[no-free-memory slowpath:]
tlb_table_invalidate
tlb_remove_table_one
__tlb_remove_table_one [frees via RCU]
[fastpath:]
tlb_table_flush
tlb_remove_table_free [frees via RCU]
native_tlb_remove_table [CONFIG_PARAVIRT on native]
tlb_remove_table [see above]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
