[PATCH] mm,page_alloc: softlockup on warn_alloc on

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

 



From: "yuwang.yuwang" <yuwang.yuwang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I found a softlockup when running some stress testcase in 4.9.x,
but i think the mainline have the same problem.

call trace:
[365724.502896] NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#31 stuck for 22s!

we can limit the warn_alloc caller to workaround it.
__alloc_pages_slowpath only call once warn_alloc each time.
