Hello Michal Hocko, The patch e8fedfea3dea: "mm: reduce noise in show_mem for lowmem allocations" from Aug 23, 2022, leads to the following Smatch static checker warning: kernel/panic.c:190 panic_print_sys_info() warn: sleeping in atomic context kernel/panic.c 175 static void panic_print_sys_info(bool console_flush) 176 { 177 if (console_flush) { 178 if (panic_print & PANIC_PRINT_ALL_PRINTK_MSG) 179 console_flush_on_panic(CONSOLE_REPLAY_ALL); 180 return; 181 } 182 183 if (panic_print & PANIC_PRINT_ALL_CPU_BT) 184 trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(); 185 186 if (panic_print & PANIC_PRINT_TASK_INFO) 187 show_state(); 188 189 if (panic_print & PANIC_PRINT_MEM_INFO) --> 190 show_mem(0, NULL, GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This obviously seems very deliberate and a lot of weird stuff happens during panic(). But the panic() function disables preemption so shouldn't this be GFP_ATOMIC? GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE has __GFP_RECLAIM and triggering swap during a panic seems bad. 191 192 if (panic_print & PANIC_PRINT_TIMER_INFO) 193 sysrq_timer_list_show(); 194 195 if (panic_print & PANIC_PRINT_LOCK_INFO) 196 debug_show_all_locks(); 197 198 if (panic_print & PANIC_PRINT_FTRACE_INFO) 199 ftrace_dump(DUMP_ALL); 200 } regards, dan carpenter
