In isolate_migratepages_block, when cc->alloc_contig is true, we are
able to isolate compound pages, nr_migratepages and nr_isolated did not
count compound pages correctly, causing us to isolate more pages than we
thought. Use thp_nr_pages to count pages. Otherwise, we might be trapped
in too_many_isolated while loop, since the actual isolated pages can go
up to COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX*512=16384, where COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX is 32,
since we stop isolation after cc->nr_migratepages reaches to
COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX.
In addition, after we fix the issue above, cc->nr_migratepages could
never be equal to COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX if compound pages are isolated,
thus page isolation could not stop as we intended. Change the isolation
stop condition to >=.
The issue can be triggered as follows:
In a system with 16GB memory and an 8GB CMA region reserved by
hugetlb_cma, if we first allocate 10GB THPs and mlock them
(so some THPs are allocated in the CMA region and mlocked), reserving
6 1GB hugetlb pages via
/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages will get stuck
(looping in too_many_isolated function) until we kill either task.
With the patch applied, oom will kill the application with 10GB THPs and
let hugetlb page reservation finish.
Fixes: 1da2f328fa64 (“mm,thp,compaction,cma: allow THP migration for CMA allocations”)
