This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/mm: Move swap offset/type up in PTE to work around erratum to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: x86-mm-move-swap-offset-type-up-in-pte-to-work-around-erratum.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@vger.kernel.org> know about it. From foo@baz Tue Aug 14 17:08:55 CEST 2018 From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2016 17:19:11 -0700 Subject: x86/mm: Move swap offset/type up in PTE to work around erratum From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> commit 00839ee3b299303c6a5e26a0a2485427a3afcbbf upstream This erratum can result in Accessed/Dirty getting set by the hardware when we do not expect them to be (on !Present PTEs). Instead of trying to fix them up after this happens, we just allow the bits to get set and try to ignore them. We do this by shifting the layout of the bits we use for swap offset/type in our 64-bit PTEs. It looks like this: bitnrs: | ... | 11| 10| 9|8|7|6|5| 4| 3|2|1|0| names: | ... |SW3|SW2|SW1|G|L|D|A|CD|WT|U|W|P| before: | OFFSET (9-63) |0|X|X| TYPE(1-5) |0| after: | OFFSET (14-63) | TYPE (9-13) |0|X|X|X| X| X|X|X|0| Note that D was already a don't care (X) even before. We just move TYPE up and turn its old spot (which could be hit by the A bit) into all don't cares. We take 5 bits away from the offset, but that still leaves us with 50 bits which lets us index into a 62-bit swapfile (4 EiB). I think that's probably fine for the moment. We could theoretically reclaim 5 of the bits (1, 2, 3, 4, 7) but it doesn't gain us anything.
