4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7b0eb6b41a08fa1fa0d04b1c53becd62b5fbfaee upstream.
Arnd reports the following arm64 randconfig build error with the PSI
patches that add another page flag:
/git/arm-soc/arch/arm64/mm/init.c: In function 'mem_init':
/git/arm-soc/include/linux/compiler.h:357:38: error: call to
'__compiletime_assert_618' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON
failed: sizeof(struct page) > (1 << STRUCT_PAGE_MAX_SHIFT)
The additional page flag causes other information stored in
page->flags to get bumped into their own struct page member:
#if SECTIONS_WIDTH+ZONES_WIDTH+NODES_SHIFT+LAST_CPUPID_SHIFT <=
BITS_PER_LONG - NR_PAGEFLAGS
#define LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH LAST_CPUPID_SHIFT
#else
#define LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH 0
#endif
#if defined(CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING) && LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH == 0
#define LAST_CPUPID_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS
#endif
which in turn causes the struct page size to exceed the size set in
STRUCT_PAGE_MAX_SHIFT. This value is an an estimate used to size the
VMEMMAP page array according to address space and struct page size.
However, the check is performed - and triggers here - on a !VMEMMAP
config, which consumes an additional 22 page bits for the sparse
section id. When VMEMMAP is enabled, those bits are returned, cpupid
doesn't need its own member, and the page passes the VMEMMAP check.
Restrict that check to the situation it was meant to check: that we
are sizing the VMEMMAP page array correctly.
Says Arnd:
Further experiments show that the build error already existed before,
but was only triggered with larger values of CONFIG_NR_CPU and/or
CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT that might be used in actual configurations but
not in randconfig builds.
With longer CPU and node masks, I could recreate the problem with
kernels as old as linux-4.7 when arm64 NUMA support got added.
