I found perplexing behavior in populate_section_memmap(). populate_section_memmap() calls alloc_pages(), and if that fails, falls back to vmalloc(). But according to the trace, populate_section_memmap() seems to throw out the alloc_pages() result and always falls back to vmalloc(), which could be a wrong area to use. I sprinkled pr_info() in mm/sparse.c:populate_section_memmap() as below: =========================================== struct page * __meminit populate_section_memmap(unsigned long pfn, unsigned long nr_pages, int nid, struct vmem_altmap *altmap) { struct page *page, *ret; unsigned long memmap_size = sizeof(struct page) * PAGES_PER_SECTION; page = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOWARN, get_order(memmap_size)); if (page) { goto got_map_page; } pr_info("%s: alloc_pages() returned 0x%p (should be 0), reverting to vmalloc(memmap_size=%lu)\n", __func__, page, memmap_size); BUG_ON(page != 0); ret = vmalloc(memmap_size); pr_info("%s: vmalloc(%lu) returned 0x%p\n", __func__, memmap_size, ret); if (ret) { goto got_map_ptr; } return NULL; got_map_page: ret = (struct page *)pfn_to_kaddr(page_to_pfn(page)); pr_info("%s: allocated struct page *page=0x%p\n", __func__, page); got_map_ptr: pr_info("%s: returning struct page * =0x%p\n", __func__, ret); return ret; } ================================================== and got a following panic. It even ignores BUG_ON() (perhaps optimized out). Is this worth investigating? Disassembly doesn't reveal anything suspicious, but I have feeling that I'm looking at disassembly different than that the CPU is seeing. It's too trivial to be a compiler bug. ================================================== [root@localhost ~]# readelf -l /proc/kcore Elf file type is CORE (Core file) Entry point 0x0 There are 3 program headers, starting at offset 52 Program Headers: Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flg Align NOTE 0x000094 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x01304 0x00000 0 LOAD 0xaff2000 0xcaff0000 0xffffffff 0x3400e000 0x3400e000 RWE 0x1000 LOAD 0x002000 0xc0000000 0x00000000 0xa7f0000 0xa7f0000 RWE 0x1000 [ 302.784196] hv_balloon: Max. dynamic memory size: 1048576 MB [ 643.475080] hv_balloon: hv_mem_hot_add: calling add_memory(nid=0, ((start_pfn=0x10000) << PAGE_SHIFT)=0x10000000, (HA_CHUNK << PAGE_SHIFT)=134217728) [ 643.513804] populate_section_memmap: alloc_pages() returned 0xb1a7c4b2 (should be 0), reverting to vmalloc(memmap_size=655360) [ 643.513849] populate_section_memmap: vmalloc(655360) returned 0x11b0e715 [ 643.513872] populate_section_memmap: returning struct page * =0x11b0e715 [ 643.525352] populate_section_memmap: alloc_pages() returned 0xb1a7c4b2 (should be 0), reverting to vmalloc(memmap_size=655360) [ 643.536698] populate_section_memmap: vmalloc(655360) returned 0xf2ba6510 [ 643.536722] populate_section_memmap: returning struct page * =0xf2ba6510 [ 643.536749] hv_balloon: hv_mem_hot_add: add_memory() returned 0 [ 645.394458] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: d13ff000 [ 645.394518] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode [ 645.394565] #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page [ 645.394584] *pde = 00000000 [ 645.394601] Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP [ 645.394614] CPU: 0 PID: 361 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 5.6.0-rc1.el8.i586 #1 [ 645.394636] Hardware name: Microsoft Corporation Virtual Machine/Virtual Machine, BIOS 090006 05/23/2012 [ 645.394670] EIP: wp_page_copy+0x8e/0x750 [ 645.394690] Code: 03 00 00 8b 45 d0 85 c0 0f 84 46 05 00 00 e8 d9 85 e5 ff 89 45 bc 89 f8 e8 cf 85 e5 ff 8b 55 bc 8d 78 04 8b 0a 83 e7 fc 89 d6 <89> 08 8b 8a fc 0f 00 00 89 88 fc 0f 00 00 89 c1 29 f9 89 55 bc 29 [ 645.394739] EAX: d13ff000 EBX: c752df28 ECX: 00000000 EDX: c5e0d000 [ 645.394767] ESI: c5e0d000 EDI: d13ff004 EBP: c752deec ESP: c752dea8 [ 645.394790] DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068 EFLAGS: 00210282 [ 645.394815] CR0: 80050033 CR2: d13ff000 CR3: 08e5a000 CR4: 003406d0 [ 645.394840] Call Trace: [ 645.394852] ? reuse_swap_page+0x83/0x390 [ 645.394873] do_wp_page+0x87/0x6e0 [ 645.394885] handle_mm_fault+0x808/0xe30 [ 645.394893] do_page_fault+0x19f/0x4d0 [ 645.394901] ? do_kern_addr_fault+0x80/0x80 [ 645.394915] common_exception_read_cr2+0x15a/0x15f [ 645.394930] EIP: 0xb7aaf8bb [ 645.394944] Code: 24 0c e3 2c 89 d7 83 e2 03 74 11 7a 04 aa 49 74 1f aa 49 74 1b 83 f2 01 75 02 aa 49 89 ca c1 e9 02 83 e2 03 69 c0 01 01 01 01 <f3> ab 89 d1 f3 aa 8b 44 24 08 5f c3 66 90 66 90 66 90 66 90 90 f3 [ 645.394973] EAX: 00000000 EBX: b7f05f60 ECX: 0000000d EDX: 00000000 [ 645.394988] ESI: 02194db4 EDI: 02194db4 EBP: b7f05db4 ESP: bffed978 [ 645.395003] DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 0000 GS: 0033 SS: 007b EFLAGS: 00210206 [ 645.395018] Modules linked in: rfkill intel_rapl_msr intel_rapl_common crc32_pclmul snd_pcm snd_timer snd soundcore intel_rapl_perf sg pcspkr hv_netvsc i2c_piix4 hyperv_fb hv_utils hv_balloon joydev ip_tables ext4 mbcache jbd2 sr_mod cdrom sd_mod t10_pi ata_generic hyperv_keyboard hid_hyperv hv_storvsc scsi_transport_fc ata_piix crc32c_intel serio_raw hv_vmbus libata [ 645.395101] CR2: 00000000d13ff000 [ 645.395121] ---[ end trace 3bb1d66cb8b20841 ]--- [ 645.395144] EIP: wp_page_copy+0x8e/0x750 [ 645.395157] Code: 03 00 00 8b 45 d0 85 c0 0f 84 46 05 00 00 e8 d9 85 e5 ff 89 45 bc 89 f8 e8 cf 85 e5 ff 8b 55 bc 8d 78 04 8b 0a 83 e7 fc 89 d6 <89> 08 8b 8a fc 0f 00 00 89 88 fc 0f 00 00 89 c1 29 f9 89 55 bc 29 [ 645.395206] EAX: d13ff000 EBX: c752df28 ECX: 00000000 EDX: c5e0d000 [ 645.395235] ESI: c5e0d000 EDI: d13ff004 EBP: c752deec ESP: c752dea8 [ 645.395261] DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068 EFLAGS: 00210282 [ 645.395278] CR0: 80050033 CR2: d13ff000 CR3: 08e5a000 CR4: 003406d0 [ 645.395308] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception [ 645.395329] Kernel Offset: 0x3e00000 from 0xc1000000 (relocation range: 0xc0000000-0xcafeffff) [ 645.395354] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception ]--- ==================================================
