[PATCH 5.15.y v2 0/2] fix softlockups in stage2_apply_range()

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

 



Hi Stable Team,
In 5.15, unmapping large kvm vms on arm64 can generate softlockups.  My team has
been hitting this when tearing down VMs > 100Gb in size.

Oliver fixed this with the attached patches.  They've been in mainline since
6.1.

I tested on 5.15.150 with these patches applied. When they're present,
both the dirty_log_perf_test detailed in the second patch, and
kvm_page_table_test no longer generate softlockups when unmapping VMs
with large memory configurations.

Would you please consider these patches for inclusion in an upcoming 5.15
release?

Change in v2:  I ran format-patch without the --from option which incorrectly
generated the first series without leaving Oliver in place as the author.  The
v2 should retain the correct authorship.  Apologies for the mistake.
