vmcore: introduce remap_oldmem_pfn_range()
For zfcpdump we can't map the HSA storage because it is only available via a read interface. Therefore, for the new vmcore mmap feature we have introduce a new mechanism to create mappings on demand. This patch introduces a new architecture function remap_oldmem_pfn_range() that should be used to create mappings with remap_pfn_range() for oldmem areas that can be directly mapped. For zfcpdump this is everything besides of the HSA memory. For the areas that are not mapped by remap_oldmem_pfn_range() a generic vmcore a new generic vmcore fault handler mmap_vmcore_fault() is called. This handler works as follows: * Get already available or new page from page cache (find_or_create_page) * Check if /proc/vmcore page is filled with data (PageUptodate) * If yes: Return that page * If no: Fill page using __vmcore_read(), set PageUptodate, and return page Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <[email protected]> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <[email protected]> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <[email protected]> Cc: Jan Willeke <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
