Subject:  [PATCH] rmap 22 flush_dcache_mmap_lock
Date:  Tue, 4 May 2004 23:22:06 +0100 (BST)
Cc:  "Martin J. Bligh" <mbligh@aracnet.com>, Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>, James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>, <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>

arm and parisc __flush_dcache_page have been scanning the i_mmap(_shared)
list without locking or disabling preemption.  That may be even more
unsafe now it's a prio tree instead of a list.

It looks like we cannot use i_shared_lock for this protection: most uses
of flush_dcache_page are okay, and only one would need lock ordering
fixed (get_user_pages holds page_table_lock across flush_dcache_page);
but there's a few (e.g. in net and ntfs) which look as if they're using
it in I/O completion - and it would be restrictive to disallow it there.

So, on arm and parisc only, define flush_dcache_mmap_lock(mapping) as
spin_lock_irq(&(mapping)->tree_lock); on i386 (and other arches left
to the next patch) define it away to nothing; and use where needed.

While updating locking hierarchy in filemap.c, remove two layers of the
fossil record from add_to_page_cache comment: no longer used for swap.

I believe all the #includes will work out, but have only built i386.
I can see several things about this patch which might cause revulsion:
the name flush_dcache_mmap_lock?  the reuse of the page radix_tree's
tree_lock for this different purpose?  spin_lock_irqsave instead?
can't we somehow get i_shared_lock to handle the problem?
