|
|
|
- * Note: unlike mlock_vma_page(), we can't just clear the PageMlocked
|
|
|
- * [in try_to_munlock()] and then attempt to isolate the page. We must
|
|
|
- * isolate the page to keep others from messing with its unevictable
|
|
|
- * and mlocked state while trying to munlock. However, we pre-clear the
|
|
|
- * mlocked state anyway as we might lose the isolation race and we might
|
|
|
- * not get another chance to clear PageMlocked. If we successfully
|
|
|
- * isolate the page and try_to_munlock() detects other VM_LOCKED vmas
|
|
|
- * mapping the page, it will restore the PageMlocked state, unless the page
|
|
|
- * is mapped in a non-linear vma. So, we go ahead and ClearPageMlocked(),
|
|
|
- * perhaps redundantly.
|
|
|
- * If we lose the isolation race, and the page is mapped by other VM_LOCKED
|
|
|
- * vmas, we'll detect this in vmscan--via try_to_munlock() or try_to_unmap()
|
|
|
- * either of which will restore the PageMlocked state by calling
|
|
|
- * mlock_vma_page() above, if it can grab the vma's mmap sem.
|
|
|
+ * called from munlock()/munmap() path with page supposedly on the LRU.
|
|
|
+ * When we munlock a page, because the vma where we found the page is being
|
|
|
+ * munlock()ed or munmap()ed, we want to check whether other vmas hold the
|
|
|
+ * page locked so that we can leave it on the unevictable lru list and not
|
|
|
+ * bother vmscan with it. However, to walk the page's rmap list in
|
|
|
+ * try_to_munlock() we must isolate the page from the LRU. If some other
|
|
|
+ * task has removed the page from the LRU, we won't be able to do that.
|
|
|
+ * So we clear the PageMlocked as we might not get another chance. If we
|
|
|
+ * can't isolate the page, we leave it for putback_lru_page() and vmscan
|
|
|
+ * [page_referenced()/try_to_unmap()] to deal with.
