It would be surprising (but not impossible) for oldpage not to be on the LRU already: it's a swapin readahead page that has every right to be on LRU, but turns out to have been allocated from an unsuitable zone, once we discover that it's needed in one of these odd hardware-limited mappings.

It would also be good to change the comment on mem_cgroup_migrate() in mm/memcontrol.c, from "@lrucare: both pages..." to "@lrucare: either or both pages..." - though I certainly won't pretend that the corrected wording would have prevented this bug creeping in! > > diff --git a/mm/shmem.c b/mm/shmem.c > index 339e06639956..e3cdc1a16c0f 100644 > --- a/mm/shmem.c > +++ b/mm/shmem.c > @@ -1013,7 +1013,7 @@ static int shmem_replace_page(struct page **pagep, gfp_t gfp, > */ > oldpage = newpage; > } else { > - mem_cgroup_migrate(oldpage, newpage, false); > + mem_cgroup_migrate(oldpage, newpage, true); > lru_cache_add_anon(newpage); > *pagep = newpage; > } Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
