[PATCH RESEND] Drop-FOLL_GET-in-GUP-when-doing-async_pf-in-kvm

From: chai wen
Date: Mon Oct 14 2013 - 10:25:30 EST



Hi Gleb

I am sorry for my mistake before.
This new patch is based on 'git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git'.
Page pinning is not mandatory in kvm async_pf processing and probably
should be dropped later. And we don't mind whether the GUP is failed or
not. What we need to do is to wake up guests process that is waitting on
a page. So drop the FOLL_GET flag in GUP, and do some simplifying in
async_pf check/clear processing.
To trigger the happening of async_pf, it needs some memory stress in system
for doing swap pressure. I simply run some big block dd processes in system
before. And it works as I see some async_pf happening and the vm works well.
But I do not know the exact occasion of the async_pf happening.
Thanks.
