[merged] khugepaged-collapse_pte_mapped_thp-protect-the-pmd-lock.patch removed from -mm tree

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

 



The patch titled
     Subject: khugepaged: collapse_pte_mapped_thp() protect the pmd lock
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     khugepaged-collapse_pte_mapped_thp-protect-the-pmd-lock.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: khugepaged: collapse_pte_mapped_thp() protect the pmd lock

When retract_page_tables() removes a page table to make way for a huge
pmd, it holds huge page lock, i_mmap_lock_write, mmap_write_trylock and
pmd lock; but when collapse_pte_mapped_thp() does the same (to handle the
case when the original mmap_write_trylock had failed), only
mmap_write_trylock and pmd lock are held.

That's not enough.  One machine has twice crashed under load, with "BUG:
spinlock bad magic" and GPF on 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b.  Examining the second
crash, page_vma_mapped_walk_done()'s spin_unlock of pvmw->ptl (serving
page_referenced() on a file THP, that had found a page table at *pmd)
discovers that the page table page and its lock have already been freed by
the time it comes to unlock.

Follow the example of retract_page_tables(), but we only need one of huge
page lock or i_mmap_lock_write to secure against this: because it's the
narrower lock, and because it simplifies collapse_pte_mapped_thp() to know
the hpage earlier, choose to rely on huge page lock here.
