[PATCH] mm/migrate: Putback split folios when numa hint migration fails

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

 



This issue is not from any report yet, but by code observation only.

This is yet another fix besides Hugh's patch [1] but on relevant code path,
where eager split of folio can happen if the folio is already on deferred
list during a folio migration.

Here the issue is NUMA path (migrate_misplaced_folio()) may start to
encounter such folio split now even with MR_NUMA_MISPLACED hint applied.
Then when migrate_pages() didn't migrate all the folios, it's possible the
split small folios be put onto the list instead of the original folio.
Then putting back only the head page won't be enough.

Fix it by putting back all the folios on the list.

Don't need to copy stable if this can still hit 6.10..  Only smoke tested.
