[PATCH] mm/numa: no task_numa_fault() call if PMD is changed

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

 



When handling a numa page fault, task_numa_fault() should be called by a
process that restores the page table of the faulted folio to avoid
duplicated stats counting.  Commit c5b5a3dd2c1f ("mm: thp: refactor NUMA
fault handling") restructured do_huge_pmd_numa_page() and did not avoid
task_numa_fault() call in the second page table check after a numa
migration failure.  Fix it by making all !pmd_same() return immediately.

This issue can cause task_numa_fault() being called more than necessary
and lead to unexpected numa balancing results (It is hard to tell whether
the issue will cause positive or negative performance impact due to
duplicated numa fault counting).
