[PATCH 4/6] mm: proc: Invalidate TLB after clearing soft-dirty page state

Will Deacon will at kernel.org
Fri Nov 20 09:35:55 EST 2020


Since commit 0758cd830494 ("asm-generic/tlb: avoid potential double flush"),
TLB invalidation is elided in tlb_finish_mmu() if no entries were batched
via the tlb_remove_*() functions. Consequently, the page-table modifications
performed by clear_refs_write() in response to a write to
/proc/<pid>/clear_refs do not perform TLB invalidation. Although this is
fine when simply aging the ptes, in the case of clearing the "soft-dirty"
state we can end up with entries where pte_write() is false, yet a
writable mapping remains in the TLB.

Fix this by calling tlb_remove_tlb_entry() for each entry being
write-protected when cleating soft-dirty.
