I did some initial investigation and found it is caused by DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
and CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC_ENABLE_DEFAULT. And, mainline 4.6-rc3 works well.
It should be not arch specific although I got it caught on ARM64. I suspect
this might be caused by Hugh's huge tmpfs patches.
Thanks for testing. It might be caused by my patches, but I don't think
that's very likely. This is page migraton for compaction, in the service
of anon THP's khugepaged; and I wonder if you were even exercising huge
tmpfs when running LTP here (it certainly can be done: I like to mount a
huge tmpfs on /opt/ltp and install there, with shmem_huge 2 so any other
tmpfs mounts are also huge).
Some further investigation shows I got the panic even though I don't
have tmpfs mounted with huge=1 or set shmem_huge to 2.
There are compaction changes in linux-next too, but I don't see any
reason why they'd cause this. I don't know arm64 traces enough to know
whether it's the source page or the destination page for the copy, but
it looks as if it has been freed (and DEBUG_PAGEALLOC unmapped) before
reaching migration's copy.
The fault address is passed by x0, which is dest in the implementation
of copy_page, so it is the destination page.
Needs more debugging, I'm afraid: is it reproducible?
Yes, as long as I enable those two PAGEALLOC debug options, I can get
the panic once I run ltp. But, it is not caused any specific ltp test
case directly, the panic happens randomly during ltp is running.
Thanks,
Yang
