From 09d91cda0e8207c1f14ee0d572f61a53dbcdaf85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Song Liu Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2019 15:38:03 -0700 Subject: mm,thp: avoid writes to file with THP in pagecache In previous patch, an application could put part of its text section in THP via madvise(). These THPs will be protected from writes when the application is still running (TXTBSY). However, after the application exits, the file is available for writes. This patch avoids writes to file THP by dropping page cache for the file when the file is open for write. A new counter nr_thps is added to struct address_space. In do_dentry_open(), if the file is open for write and nr_thps is non-zero, we drop page cache for the whole file.
