[PATCH 5.17 179/219] hugetlb: do not demote poisoned hugetlb pages

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

 



From: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5a317412ef884763fdf7aa17f9f3636959d11d8f upstream.

It is possible for poisoned hugetlb pages to reside on the free lists.
The huge page allocation routines which dequeue entries from the free
lists make a point of avoiding poisoned pages.  There is no such check
and avoidance in the demote code path.

If a hugetlb page on the is on a free list, poison will only be set in
the head page rather then the page with the actual error.  If such a
page is demoted, then the poison flag may follow the wrong page.  A page
without error could have poison set, and a page with poison could not
have the flag set.

Check for poison before attempting to demote a hugetlb page.  Also,
return -EBUSY to the caller if only poisoned pages are on the free list.
