From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
active/inactive lru lists can contain unevicable pages (i.e. ramfs pages
that have been placed on the LRU lists when first allocated), but these
pages must not have PageUnevictable set - otherwise shrink_[in]active_list
goes crazy:
kernel BUG at /home/space/kas/git/public/linux-next/mm/vmscan.c:1122!
1090 static unsigned long isolate_lru_pages(unsigned long nr_to_scan,
1091 struct lruvec *lruvec, struct list_head *dst,
1092 unsigned long *nr_scanned, struct scan_control *sc,
1093 isolate_mode_t mode, enum lru_list lru)
1094 {
...
1108 switch (__isolate_lru_page(page, mode)) {
1109 case 0:
...
1116 case -EBUSY:
...
1121 default:
1122 BUG();
1123 }
1124 }
...
1130 }
__isolate_lru_page() returns EINVAL for PageUnevictable(page).
For lru_add_page_tail(), it means we should not set PageUnevictable()
for tail pages unless we're sure that it will go to LRU_UNEVICTABLE.
Let's just copy PG_active and PG_unevictable from head page in
__split_huge_page_refcount(), it will simplify lru_add_page_tail().
This will fix one more bug in lru_add_page_tail():
if page_evictable(page_tail) is false and PageLRU(page) is true, page_tail
will go to the same lru as page, but nobody cares to sync page_tail
active/inactive state with page. So we can end up with inactive page on
active lru.
The patch will fix it as well since we copy PG_active from head page.
