This patch adds the basic filesystem that can be mounted and a CONFIG_MSHARE option for compiling support in a kernel.

To enable support for +msharefs the kernel must be compiled with CONFIG_MSHARE set. + +msharefs is typically mounted like this:: + + mount -t msharefs none /sys/fs/mshare + +A file created on msharefs creates a new shared region where all +processes mapping that region will map it using shared page table +entries. ioctls are used to initialize or retrieve the start address +and size of a shared region and to map objects in the shared +region. It is important to note that an msharefs file is a control +file for the shared region and does not contain the contents +of the region itself. + +Here are the basic steps for using mshare:: + +1. Mount msharefs on /sys/fs/mshare:: + + mount -t msharefs msharefs /sys/fs/mshare + +2. mshare regions have alignment and size requirements. Start + address for the region must be aligned to an address boundary and + be a multiple of fixed size. This alignment and size requirement + can be obtained by reading the file ``/sys/fs/mshare/mshare_info`` + which returns a number in text format. mshare regions must be + aligned to this boundary and be a multiple of this size. + +3. For the process creating an mshare region:: + +a. Create a file on /sys/fs/mshare, for example: + +.. code-block:: c + + fd =3D open("/sys/fs/mshare/shareme", + O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600); + +b. Establish the starting address and size of the region: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct mshare_info minfo; + + minfo.start =3D TB(2); + minfo.size =3D BUFFER_SIZE; + ioctl(fd, MSHAREFS_SET_SIZE, &minfo); + +c. Map some memory in the region: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct mshare_create mcreate; + + mcreate.addr =3D TB(2); + mcreate.size =3D BUFFER_SIZE; + mcreate.offset =3D 0; + mcreate.prot =3D PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE; + mcreate.flags =3D MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED | MAP_FIXED; + mcreate.fd =3D -1; + + ioctl(fd, MSHAREFS_CREATE_MAPPING, &mcreate); + +d. Map the mshare region into the process: + +.. code-block:: c + + mmap((void *)TB(2), BUF_SIZE, + PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); + +e. Write and read to mshared region normally. + + +4. For processes attaching an mshare region:: + +a. Open the file on msharefs, for example: + +.. code-block:: c + + fd =3D open("/sys/fs/mshare/shareme", O_RDWR); + +b. Get information about mshare'd region from the file: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct mshare_info minfo; + + ioctl(fd, MSHAREFS_GET_SIZE, &minfo); + +c. Map the mshare'd region into the process: + +.. code-block:: c + + mmap(minfo.start, minfo.size, + PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); + +5. To delete the mshare region: + +.. code-block:: c + + unlink("/sys/fs/mshare/shareme"); diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/magic.h b/include/uapi/linux/magic.h index bb575f3ab45e..e53dd6063cba 100644 --- a/include/uapi/linux/magic.h +++ b/include/uapi/linux/magic.h @@ -103,5 +103,6 @@ #define DEVMEM_MAGIC 0x454d444d /* "DMEM" */ #define SECRETMEM_MAGIC 0x5345434d /* "SECM" */ #define PID_FS_MAGIC 0x50494446 /* "PIDF" */ +#define MSHARE_MAGIC 0x4d534852 /* "MSHR" */ =20 #endif /* __LINUX_MAGIC_H__ */ diff --git a/mm/Kconfig b/mm/Kconfig index 1b501db06417..ba3dbe31f86a 100644 --- a/mm/Kconfig +++ b/mm/Kconfig @@ -1358,6 +1358,15 @@ config PT_RECLAIM =20 Note: now only empty user PTE page table pages will be reclaimed. =20 +config MSHARE + bool "Mshare" + depends on MMU + help + Enable msharefs: A ram-based filesystem that allows multiple + processes to share page table entries for shared pages.
