[PATCH V3] mm/gup: Clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch

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

 



From: yangge <yangge1116@xxxxxxx>

If a large number of CMA memory are configured in system (for example, the
CMA memory accounts for 50% of the system memory), starting a virtual
virtual machine with device passthrough, it will
call pin_user_pages_remote(..., FOLL_LONGTERM, ...) to pin memory.
Normally if a page is present and in CMA area, pin_user_pages_remote()
will migrate the page from CMA area to non-CMA area because of
FOLL_LONGTERM flag. But the current code will cause the migration failure
due to unexpected page refcounts, and eventually cause the virtual machine
fail to start.

If a page is added in LRU batch, its refcount increases one, remove the
page from LRU batch decreases one. Page migration requires the page is not
referenced by others except page mapping. Before migrating a page, we
should try to drain the page from LRU batch in case the page is in it,
however, folio_test_lru() is not sufficient to tell whether the page is
in LRU batch or not, if the page is in LRU batch, the migration will fail.

To solve the problem above, we modify the logic of adding to LRU batch.
Before adding a page to LRU batch, we clear the LRU flag of the page so
that we can check whether the page is in LRU batch by folio_test_lru(page).
Seems making the LRU flag of the page invisible a long time is no problem,
because a new page is allocated from buddy and added to the lru batch,
its LRU flag is also not visible for a long time.

Fixes: 9a4e9f3b2d73 ("mm: update get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated from CMA region")
