[patch 169/192] mm: page_alloc: dump migrate-failed pages only at -EBUSY

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

 



From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: page_alloc: dump migrate-failed pages only at -EBUSY

alloc_contig_dump_pages() aims for helping debugging page migration
failure by elevated page refcount compared to expected_count.  (for the
detail, please look at migrate_page_move_mapping)

However, -ENOMEM is just the case that system is under memory pressure
state, not relevant with page refcount at all.  Thus, the dumping page
list is not helpful for the debugging point of view.
