value (KERN_SUCCESS or KERN_RESOURCE_SHORTAGE) indicating if it succeeded
or failed. Change the `wired' and `access_type' arguments to a single
`flags' argument, which includes the access type, and flags:
PMAP_WIRED the old `wired' boolean
PMAP_CANFAIL pmap_enter() is allowed to fail
If PMAP_CANFAIL is not specified, the pmap should behave as it always
has in the face of a drastic resource shortage: fall over dead.
Change the fault handler to deal with failure (which indicates resource
shortage) by unlocking everything, waiting for the pagedaemon to free
more memory, then retrying the fault.
has PAGEABLE and INTRSAFE flags. PAGEABLE now really means "pageable",
not "allocate vm_map_entry's from non-static pool", so update all map
creations to reflect that. INTRSAFE maps are maps that are used in
interrupt context (e.g. kmem_map, mb_map), and thus use the static
map entry pool (XXX as does kernel_map, for now). This will eventually
change now these maps are locked, as well.
ensure we don't take mod/ref emulation faults in an interrupt context
(e.g. during the i/o operation). This is safe because:
- For a pageout operation, the page is already known to be
modified, and the pagedaemon will pmap_clear_modify() after
the pageout has completed.
- For a pagein operation, pagers must already pmap_clear_modify()
after the pagein operation is complete, because the i/o may have
been done with e.g. programmed i/o.
XXX It would be nice to know the i/o direction so that we can call
XXX pmap_enter() with only the protection and access_type necessary.
are still owned by the object which is paging, and so the test for a kernel
object in uvm_unmap_remove() will cause pmap_remove() to be used instead
of pmap_kremove().
This was a MAJOR source of pmap_remove() vs pmap_kremove() inconsistency
(which caused the busted kernel pmap statistics, and a cause of much
locking hair on MP systems).
memory access a mapping was caused by. This is passed through from uvm_fault()
and udv_fault(), and in most other cases is 0.
The pmap module may use this to preset R/M information. On MMUs which require
R/M emulation, the implementation may preset the bits and avoid taking another
fault. On MMUs which keep R/M information in hardware, the implementation may
preset its cached bits to speed up the next call to pmap_is_modified() or
pmap_is_referenced().
- release the correct page (ppsp[lcv], not pg)
- don't access the page's fields after we have released it
- in the uvm_objct case: move on to the next page if we've released
[should have been merged in on 1998/02/12, but we somehow missed it]
UVM was written by chuck cranor <chuck@maria.wustl.edu>, with some
minor portions derived from the old Mach code. i provided some help
getting swap and paging working, and other bug fixes/ideas. chuck
silvers <chuq@chuq.com> also provided some other fixes.
this is the UVM kernel code portion.
this will be KNF'd shortly. :-)
