[patch] remap-file-pages-2.5.63-A0

Ingo Molnar (mingo@elte.hu)
Mon, 3 Mar 2003 11:57:34 +0100 (CET)


the attached patch, against BK-curr, is a preparation to make
remap_file_pages() usable on swappable vmas as well. When 'swapping out'
shared-named mappings the page offset is written into the pte.

it takes one bit from the swap-type bits, otherwise it does not change the
pte layout - so it should be easy to adapt any other architecture to this
change as well. (this patch does not introduce the protection-bits-in-pte
approach used in my previous patch.)

On 32-bit pte sizes with an effective usable pte range of 29 bits, this
limits mmap()-able file size to 4096 * 2^29 == 2 TBs. If the usable range
is smaller, then the maximum mmap() size is reduced as well. The
worst-case i found (PPC) was 2 hw-reserved bits in the swap-case, which
limits us to 1 TB filesize. Is there any other hw that has an even worse
ratio of sw-usable pte bits?

this mmap() limit can be eliminated by simply not converting the swapped
out pte to a file-pte, but clearning it and falling back to the linear
mapping upon swapin. This puts the limit into remap_file_pages() alone,
but i really hope no-one wants to use remap_file_pages() on a 32-bit
platform, on a larger than 1-2 TB file.
