mm: Introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages().
vmap/vmalloc APIs are used to map a set of pages into contiguous kernel virtual space. get_vm_area() with appropriate flag is used to request an area of kernel address range. It's used for vmalloc, vmap, ioremap, xen use cases. - vmalloc use case dominates the usage. Such vm areas have VM_ALLOC flag. - the areas created by vmap() function should be tagged with VM_MAP. - ioremap areas are tagged with VM_IOREMAP. BPF would like to extend the vmap API to implement a lazily-populated sparse, yet contiguous kernel virtual space. Introduce VM_SPARSE flag and vm_area_map_pages(area, start_addr, count, pages) API to map a set of pages within a given area. It has the same sanity checks as vmap() does. It also checks that get_vm_area() was created with VM_SPARSE flag which identifies such areas in /proc/vmallocinfo and returns zero pages on read through /proc/kcore. The next commits will introduce bpf_arena which is a sparsely populated shared memory region between bpf program and user space process. It will map privately-managed pages into a sparse vm area with the following steps: // request virtual memory region during bpf prog verification area = get_vm_area(area_size, VM_SPARSE); // on demand vm_area_map_pages(area, kaddr, kend, pages); vm_area_unmap_pages(area, kaddr, kend); // after bpf program is detached and unloaded free_vm_area(area); Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Pasha Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20240305030516.41519-3-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com
