From ed33b5a677da33d6e8f959879bb61e9791b80354 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Qi Zheng Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2021 13:38:41 -0700 Subject: mm: remove redundant smp_wmb() The smp_wmb() which is in the __pte_alloc() is used to ensure all ptes setup is visible before the pte is made visible to other CPUs by being put into page tables. We only need this when the pte is actually populated, so move it to pmd_install(). __pte_alloc_kernel(), __p4d_alloc(), __pud_alloc() and __pmd_alloc() are similar to this case. We can also defer smp_wmb() to the place where the pmd entry is really populated by preallocated pte. There are two kinds of user of preallocated pte, one is filemap & finish_fault(), another is THP. The former does not need another smp_wmb() because the smp_wmb() has been done by pmd_install(). Fortunately, the latter also does not need another smp_wmb() because there is already a smp_wmb() before populating the new pte when the THP uses a preallocated pte to split a huge pmd.
