This is basically apply_to_page_range with added functionality:
Allocating missing parts of the page table becomes optional, which
means that the function can be guaranteed not to error if allocation
is disabled. Also passing of the closure struct and callback function
becomes different and more in line with how things are done elsewhere.

Finally we keep apply_to_page_range as a wrapper around apply_to_pfn_range

The reason for not using the page-walk code is that we want to perform
the page-walk on vmas pointing to an address space without requiring the
mmap_sem to be held rather thand on vmas belonging to a process with the
mmap_sem held.

Notable changes since RFC:
Don't export apply_to_pfn range.

This is wrong there should be a big FAT warning that this can only be use
against mmap of device file. The page table walking above is broken for
various thing you might find in any other vma like THP, device pte, hugetlbfs,
...

Also the mmu notifier can not be call from the pfn callback as that callback
happens under page table lock (the change_pte notifier callback is useless
and not enough). So it _must_ happen around the call to apply_to_pfn_range

apply_to_page_range was really not meant to be use in that way ... it was not
for regular vma.

Using this function for anything else is dangerous and having its uses spread
more increase that risk. So there must be a big FAT warning saying that you
should not use this lightly and that it should only be only on mmap of device
file.

It would be good to improve that comment too and make it a warning of

I was figuring since we didn't export the function anymore, the warning
and checks could be left to its users, assuming that any other future
usage of this function would require mm people audit anyway. But I can
of course add that warning also to this function if you still want
that?

In the comments I was having in mind usage of, for example
ptep_clear_flush_notify(). But you're the mmu_notifier expert here. Are
you saying that function by itself would not be sufficient?
In that case, should I just scratch the text mentioning the pte leaf
function?

Understood.

Yeah more warning are better, people might start using this, i know
some poeple use unexported symbol and then report bugs while they
just were doing something illegal.

ptep_clear_flush_notify() is useless ... i have posted patches to either
restore it or remove it. In any case you must call mmu notifier range and
they can not happen under lock. You usage looked fine (in the next patch)
but i would rather have a bit of comment here to make sure people are also
aware of that.

While we can hope that people would cc mm when using mm function, it is
not always the case. So i rather be cautious and warn in comment as much
as possible.

OK. Understood. All this actually makes me tend to want to try a bit
harder using a slight modification to the pagewalk code instead. Don't
really want to encourage two parallel code paths doing essentially the
same thing; one good and one bad.

One thing that confuses me a bit with the pagewalk code is that callers
(for example softdirty) typically call
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() around the pagewalk, but then if
it ends up splitting a pmd, mmu_notifier_invalidate_range is called
again, within the first range. Docs aren't really clear whether that's
permitted or not. Is it?

It is mandatory ie you have to call mmu_notifier_invalidate_range()
in some cases. This is all documented in mmu_notifier.h see struct
mmu_notifier_ops comments and also Documentation/vm/mmu_notifier.rst

Roughly anytime you go from one valid pte (pmd/pud/p4d) to another
valid pte (pmd/pud/p4d) with a different page then you have to call
after clearing pte (pmd/pud/p4d) and before replacing it with its
new value. Changing permission on same page ie going from read and
write to read only, or read only to read and write, does not require
any extra call to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range()

The mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() is important for IOMMU with ATS/
PASID as it is when the flush the TLB and remote device TLB. So you
must flush those secondary TLB after clearing entry so that it can
not race to repopulate the TLB and before setting the new entry so
that at no point in time any hardware can wrongly access old page
while a new page is just now active.

Hopes that clarify it, between if you see any improvement to mmu-
notifier doc it would be more than welcome. I try to put comments
in enough places that people should see at least one of them but
maybe i miss a place where i should have put a comments to point
to the doc :)

Cheers,
Jérôme
