[PATCH] mm/migrate: Avoid migrate mmaped compound pages

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

 



Below kernel vm bug can be triggered by tcpdump which mmaped a lot of pages with GFP_COMP flag.

[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] page:ffffea0015414000 count:66 mapcount:1 mapping:          (null) index:0x0
[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] flags: 0x20047580004000(head)
[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(compound_order(page) && !PageTransHuge(page))
[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] kernel BUG at mm/migrate.c:1661!
[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP

The fix is simply disallow migrate mmaped compound pages, return 0 instead of
report vm bug.
