用户空间缺页异常pte_handle_fault()分析--(下)--写时复制【转】

转自：http://blog.csdn.net/vanbreaker/article/details/7955713

在pte_handle_fault()中，如果触发异常的页存在于主存中，那么该异常往往是由写了一个只读页触发的，此时需要进行COW(写时复制操作)。如当一个父进程通过fork()创建了一个子进程时，子进程将会共享父进程的页框。之后，无论是父进程还是子进程要对相应的内存进行写操作，都要进行COW，也就是为自己重新分配一个页框，并把之前的数据复制到页框中去，再写。

[cpp] view plain copy

static inline int handle_pte_fault(struct mm_struct *mm,
struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long address,
pte_t *pte, pmd_t *pmd, unsigned int flags)
{
pte_t entry;
spinlock_t *ptl;
entry = *pte;
...
...
...
/********页在主存中的情况***********/
ptl = pte_lockptr(mm, pmd);
spin_lock(ptl);
if (unlikely(!pte_same(*pte, entry)))
goto unlock;
if (flags & FAULT_FLAG_WRITE) {//异常由写访问触发
if (!pte_write(entry))//而对应的页是不可写的
return do_wp_page(mm, vma, address, //此时必须进行写时复制的操作
pte, pmd, ptl, entry);
entry = pte_mkdirty(entry);
}
entry = pte_mkyoung(entry);
if (ptep_set_access_flags(vma, address, pte, entry, flags & FAULT_FLAG_WRITE)) {
update_mmu_cache(vma, address, entry);
} else {
/*
* This is needed only for protection faults but the arch code
* is not yet telling us if this is a protection fault or not.
* This still avoids useless tlb flushes for .text page faults
* with threads.
*/
if (flags & FAULT_FLAG_WRITE)
flush_tlb_page(vma, address);
}
unlock:
pte_unmap_unlock(pte, ptl);
return 0;
}

可以看到，hand_pte_fault()函数处理页存在于主存中的情况的关键操作都集中在do_wp_page()函数上。该函数是用来处理COW的，不过在COW之前先要做一些检查，比如说，如果对应的页只有一个进程使用，那么便可以直接修改页的权限为可读可写，而不进行COW。总之，不到不得以的情况下是不会进行COW的。
