mm/migrate: new migrate mode MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY
Introduce a new migration mode that allow to offload the copy to a device
DMA engine. This changes the workflow of migration and not all
address_space migratepage callback can support this.
This is intended to be use by migrate_vma() which itself is use for thing
like HMM (see include/linux/hmm.h).
No additional per-filesystem migratepage testing is needed. I disables
MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY in all problematic migratepage() callback and i
added comment in those to explain why (part of this patch). The commit
message is unclear it should say that any callback that wish to support
this new mode need to be aware of the difference in the migration flow
from other mode.
Some of these callbacks do extra locking while copying (aio, zsmalloc,
balloon, ...) and for DMA to be effective you want to copy multiple
pages in one DMA operations. But in the problematic case you can not
easily hold the extra lock accross multiple call to this callback.
Usual flow is:
For each page {
1 - lock page
2 - call migratepage() callback
3 - (extra locking in some migratepage() callback)
4 - migrate page state (freeze refcount, update page cache, buffer
head, ...)
5 - copy page
6 - (unlock any extra lock of migratepage() callback)
7 - return from migratepage() callback
8 - unlock page
}
The new mode MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY:
1 - lock multiple pages
For each page {
2 - call migratepage() callback
3 - abort in all problematic migratepage() callback
4 - migrate page state (freeze refcount, update page cache, buffer
head, ...)
} // finished all calls to migratepage() callback
5 - DMA copy multiple pages
6 - unlock all the pages
To support MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY in the problematic case we would need a
new callback migratepages() (for instance) that deals with multiple
pages in one transaction.
Because the problematic cases are not important for current usage I did
not wanted to complexify this patchset even more for no good reason.
