From 8e76d4eecf7afeec9328e21cd5880e281838d0d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2015 11:15:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sched, numa: do not hint for NUMA balancing on VM_MIXEDMAP mappings Jovi Zhangwei reported the following problem Below kernel vm bug can be triggered by tcpdump which mmaped a lot of pages with GFP_COMP flag. [Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] page:ffffea0015414000 count:66 mapcount:1 mapping: (null) index:0x0 [Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] flags: 0x20047580004000(head) [Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(compound_order(page) && !PageTransHuge(page)) [Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] kernel BUG at mm/migrate.c:1661! [Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP In this case it was triggered by running tcpdump but it's not necessary reproducible on all systems. sudo tcpdump -i bond0.100 'tcp port 4242' -c 100000000000 -w 4242.pcap Compound pages cannot be migrated and it was not expected that such pages be marked for NUMA balancing. This did not take into account that drivers such as net/packet/af_packet.c may insert compound pages into userspace with vm_insert_page. This patch tells the NUMA balancing protection scanner to skip all VM_MIXEDMAP mappings which avoids the possibility that compound pages are marked for migration.
