From: Lee Schermerhorn Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2007 00:59:10 +0000 (-0800) Subject: Migration: find correct vma in new_vma_page() X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3ad33b2436b545cbe8b28e53f3710432cad457ab;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git Migration: find correct vma in new_vma_page() We hit the BUG_ON() in mm/rmap.c:vma_address() when trying to migrate via mbind(MPOL_MF_MOVE) a non-anon region that spans multiple vmas. For anon-regions, we just fail to migrate any pages beyond the 1st vma in the range. This occurs because do_mbind() collects a list of pages to migrate by calling check_range(). check_range() walks the task's mm, spanning vmas as necessary, to collect the migratable pages into a list. Then, do_mbind() calls migrate_pages() passing the list of pages, a function to allocate new pages based on vma policy [new_vma_page()], and a pointer to the first vma of the range. For each page in the list, new_vma_page() calls page_address_in_vma() passing the page and the vma [first in range] to obtain the address to get for alloc_page_vma(). The page address is needed to get interleaving policy correct. If the pages in the list come from multiple vmas, eventually, new_page_address() will pass that page to page_address_in_vma() with the incorrect vma. For !PageAnon pages, this will result in a bug check in rmap.c:vma_address(). For anon pages, vma_address() will just return EFAULT and fail the migration. This patch modifies new_vma_page() to check the return value from page_address_in_vma(). If the return value is EFAULT, new_vma_page() searchs forward via vm_next for the vma that maps the page--i.e., that does not return EFAULT. This assumes that the pages in the list handed to migrate_pages() is in address order. This is currently case. The patch documents this assumption in a new comment block for new_vma_page(). If new_vma_page() cannot locate the vma mapping the page in a forward search in the mm, it will pass a NULL vma to alloc_page_vma(). This will result in the allocation using the task policy, if any, else system default policy. This situation is unlikely, but the patch documents this behavior with a comment. Note, this patch results in restarting from the first vma in a multi-vma range each time new_vma_page() is called. If this is not acceptable, we can make the vma argument a pointer, both in new_vma_page() and it's caller unmap_and_move() so that the value held by the loop in migrate_pages() always passes down the last vma in which a page was found. This will require changes to all new_page_t functions passed to migrate_pages(). Is this necessary? For this patch to work, we can't bug check in vma_address() for pages outside the argument vma. This patch removes the BUG_ON(). All other callers [besides new_vma_page()] already check the return status. Tested on x86_64, 4 node NUMA platform.
