Hi, I got some khugepaged spew on a 32bit x86: [ 217.490026] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/mmu_notifier.h:346 [ 217.492826] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 25, name: khugepaged [ 217.495589] INFO: lockdep is turned off.

My naive idea would be to just reorder those things, but not sure if there's some magic ordering constraint here. At least the machine still boots when I do it :) diff --git a/mm/khugepaged.c b/mm/khugepaged.c index 0a1b4b484ac5..f05d27b7183d 100644 --- a/mm/khugepaged.c +++ b/mm/khugepaged.c @@ -1028,12 +1028,13 @@ static void collapse_huge_page(struct mm_struct *mm, anon_vma_lock_write(vma->anon_vma); - pte = pte_offset_map(pmd, address); - pte_ptl = pte_lockptr(mm, pmd); - mmu_notifier_range_init(&range, MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR, 0, NULL, mm, address, address + HPAGE_PMD_SIZE); mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(&range); + + pte = pte_offset_map(pmd, address); + pte_ptl = pte_lockptr(mm, pmd); + pmd_ptl = pmd_lock(mm, pmd); /* probably unnecessary */ /* * After this gup_fast can't run anymore.
