Hello,

"WARNING:at_mm/page_alloc.c:#__alloc_pages_noprof" on:

commit: 0fa2857d23aa170e5e28d13c467b303b0065aad8 ("mm: store zero pages to
be swapped out in a bitmap")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master
This is coming from WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP(order > MAX_PAGE_ORDER, gfp), and
is triggered by the new bitmap_zalloc() call in the swapon path. For a
sufficiently large swapfile, bitmap_zalloc() (which uses kmalloc()
under the hood) cannot be used to allocate the bitmap.

Usama, I think we want to use a variant of kvmalloc() here.
Yes, I hit the same problem with swapon in my testing,
and had been intending to send a patch.

Yes, just testing with below diff now. The patch is not in mm-stable yet, so
will just send another revision with below diff included. Thanks!

No, 8 is not right for 32-bit kernels. I think you want
	p->zeromap = kvzalloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(maxpages), GFP_KERNEL);
but please check it carefully, I'm easily confused by such conversions.

Hugh

Ah yes, didnt take into account 32-bit kernel. I think its supposed to be

 p->zeromap = kvzalloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(maxpages) * sizeof(unsigned long), GFP_KERNEL);

if using BITS_TO_LONGS.

Will wait sometime incase there are more comments and will send out another version.

Thanks!
