Subject: Revert "mm: migrate: skip shared exec THP for NUMA balancing"
This reverts commit c77c5cbafe549eb330e8909861a3e16cbda2c848.
Since commit c77c5cbafe54 ("mm: migrate: skip shared exec THP for NUMA
balancing"), the NUMA balancing would skip shared exec transhuge page.
But this enhancement is not suitable for transhuge page. Because it's
required that page_mapcount() must be 1 due to no migration pte dance is
done here. On the other hand, the shared exec transhuge page will leave
the migrate_misplaced_page() with pte entry untouched and page locked.
Thus pagefault for NUMA will be triggered again and deadlock occurs when
we start waiting for the page lock held by ourselves.
Yang Shi said:
"Thanks for catching this. By relooking the code I think the other
important reason for removing this is
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() actually can't see shared exec
file THP at all since page_lock_anon_vma_read() is called before
and if page is not anonymous page it will just restore the PMD
without migrating anything.
The pages for private mapped file vma may be anonymous pages due to
COW but they can't be THP so it won't trigger THP numa fault at all. I
think this is why no bug was reported. I overlooked this in the first
place."
