But then there is file_operations->fadvise() that lets the file systems to implement their own fadvise implementation. Use this support to implement some of the POSIX_FADV_XXX functionality for shmem files. This patch aims to implement POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED and POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED advices to shmem files which can be helpful for the drivers who may want to manage the shmem pages of the files that are created through shmem_file_setup[_with_mnt](). An example usecase may be like, driver can create the shmem file of the size equal to its requirements and map the pages for DMA and then pass the fd to user. The user who knows well about the usage of these pages can now decide when these pages are not required push them to swap through DONTNEED thus free up memory well in advance rather than relying on the reclaim and use WILLNEED when it decide that they are useful in the near future. IOW, it lets the clients to free up/read the memory when it wants to. Another usecase is that GEM objets which are currenlty allocated and managed through shmem files can use vfs_fadvise(DONT|WILLNEED) on shmem fd when the driver comes to know(like through some hints from user space) that GEM objects are not going to use/will need in the near future. Some questions asked while reviewing this patch: Q) Can the same thing be achieved with FD mapped to user and use madvise? A) All drivers are not mapping all the shmem fd's to user space and want to manage them with in the kernel. Ex: shmem memory can be mapped to the other subsystems and they fill in the data and then give it to other subsystem for further processing, where, the user mapping is not at all required. A simple example, memory that is given for gpu subsystem which can be filled directly and give to display subsystem. And the respective drivers know well about when to keep that memory in ram or swap based on may be a user activity. Q) Should we add the documentation section in Manual pages? A) The man[1] pages for the fadvise() whatever says is also applicable for shmem files. so couldn't feel it correct to add specific to shmem files separately. [1] https://linux.die.net/man/2/fadvise Q) The proposed semantics of POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED is actually similar to MADV_PAGEOUT and different from MADV_DONTNEED. This is a user facing API and this difference will cause confusion? A) man pages [1] says that "POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED attempts to free cached pages associated with the specified region." This means on issuing this FADV, it is expected to free the file cache pages. And it is implementation defined If the dirty pages may be attempted to writeback. And the unwritten dirty pages will not be freed. So, FADV_DONTNEED also covers the semantics of MADV_PAGEOUT for file pages and there is no purpose of PAGEOUT for file pages.
