[PATCH 0/2] Fix another VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTail(page)) on mbind(2)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dmitry Vyukov reported yet another VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTail(page)) bug from
isolate_lru_page().

The first patch relaxes VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(): no need to crash on tail pages
which are not on LRU. We are not going to isolate them anyway.

The second patch tries streamline logic within queue_pages_range(): no
need to scan non migratable VMAs. The patch requires more careful review.

Any of these patches should fix the issue. I think both should be applied.
The first one is subject for 4.5 as the bogus was introduced there.

Kirill A. Shutemov (2):
  mm: fix bogus VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() in isolate_lru_page()
  mempolicy: do not try to queue pages from !vma_migratable()
