[PATCH 08/17] mm: madvise MADV_USERFAULT
From: Andrea Arcangeli
Date: Fri Oct 03 2014 - 14:22:48 EST
MADV_USERFAULT is a new madvise flag that will set VM_USERFAULT in the
vma flags. Whenever VM_USERFAULT is set in an anonymous vma, if
userland touches a still unmapped virtual address, a sigbus signal is
sent instead of allocating a new page. The sigbus signal handler will
then resolve the page fault in userland by calling the
remap_anon_pages syscall.
This functionality is needed to reliably implement postcopy live
migration in KVM (without having to use a special chardevice that
would disable all advanced Linux VM features, like swapping, KSM, THP,
automatic NUMA balancing, etc...).
MADV_USERFAULT could also be used to offload parts of anonymous memory
regions to remote nodes or to implement network distributed shared
memory.
Here I enlarged the vm_flags to 64bit as we run out of bits (noop on
64bit kernels). An alternative is to find some combination of flags
that are mutually exclusive if set.
