[patch 03/14] mm/vmscan: fix NR_ISOLATED_FILE corruption on 64-bit

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

 



From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/vmscan: fix NR_ISOLATED_FILE corruption on 64-bit

Previously the negated unsigned long would be cast back to signed long
which would have the correct negative value.  After commit 730ec8c01a2b
("mm/vmscan.c: change prototype for shrink_page_list"), the large unsigned
int converts to a large positive signed long.

Symptoms include CMA allocations hanging forever holding the cma_mutex due
to alloc_contig_range->...->isolate_migratepages_block waiting forever in
"while (unlikely(too_many_isolated(pgdat)))".

[akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: fix -stat.nr_lazyfree_fail as well, per Michal]
