Mel, Thanks for your help. I added some printks and dump_page() to get
the page struct and swp_entry information.

I did not try previous versions other than RHEL kernel (3.10.*). I
will try with previous versions.
In the failure case, also noticed pte and address values are matched
in try_to_unmap_one() and remove_migration_pte(), but entry
(swp_entry_t) value is different. So looks like page strut address in
migration_entry_to_page() is not valid.
try_to_unmap_one()
{
...
} else if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MIGRATION)) {
/*
* Store the pfn of the page in a special migration
* pte. do_swap_page() will wait until the migration
* pte is removed and then restart fault handling.
*/
BUG_ON(!(flags & TTU_MIGRATION));
entry = make_migration_entry(page, pte_write(pteval));
}
swp_pte = swp_entry_to_pte(entry);
if (pte_soft_dirty(pteval))
swp_pte = pte_swp_mksoft_dirty(swp_pte);
set_pte_at(mm, address, pte, swp_pte);
/*pte=0xb16b8d0f80000000 address=0x100008150000
page=0xf000000513f3e1e0 entry=0x3e0000000ec5ae34 */
...
}
remove_migration_pte()
{
...
/* address=0x100008150000 pte=0xb16b8d0f80000000
*old=0xf000000513f3e1e0 */
if (!is_migration_entry(entry) ||
migration_entry_to_page(entry) != old)
goto unlock;
...
}
migration_entry_to_page() {
pte=0xb16b8d0f80000000 entry=0x3e00000002c5ae34
page=0xf0000000f3f3e1e0
}
