2015-08-07mm: check __PG_HWPOISON separately from PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_*Naoya Horiguchi
The race condition addressed in commit add05cecef80 ("mm: soft-offline: don't free target page in successful page migration") was not closed completely, because that can happen not only for soft-offline, but also for hard-offline. Consider that a slab page is about to be freed into buddy pool, and then an uncorrected memory error hits the page just after entering __free_one_page(), then VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page->flags & PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP) is triggered, despite the fact that it's not necessary because the data on the affected page is not consumed. To solve it, this patch drops __PG_HWPOISON from page flag checks at allocation/free time. I think it's justified because __PG_HWPOISON flags is defined to prevent the page from being reused, and setting it outside the page's alloc-free cycle is a designed behavior (not a bug.) For recent months, I was annoyed about BUG_ON when soft-offlined page remains on lru cache list for a while, which is avoided by calling put_page() instead of putback_lru_page() in page migration's success path. This means that this patch reverts a major change from commit add05cecef80 about the new refcounting rule of soft-offlined pages, so "reuse window" revives. This will be closed by a subsequent patch.

2015-06-24mm: clarify that the function operates on hugepage pteAneesh Kumar K.V
We have confusing functions to clear pmd, pmd_clear_* and pmd_clear. Add _huge_ to pmdp_clear functions so that we are clear that they operate on hugepage pte. We don't bother about other functions like pmdp_set_wrprotect, pmdp_clear_flush_young, because they operate on PTE bits and hence indicate they are operating on hugepage ptes Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.

2015-06-24mm/thp: split out pmd collapse flush into separate functionsAneesh Kumar K.V
Architectures like ppc64 [1] need to do special things while clearing pmd before a collapse. For them this operation is largely different from a normal hugepage pte clear. Hence add a separate function to clear pmd before collapse. After this patch pmdp_* functions operate only on hugepage pte, and not on regular pmd_t values pointing to page table. [1] ppc64 needs to invalidate all the normal page pte mappings we already have inserted in the hardware hash page table. But before doing that we need to make sure there are no parallel hash page table insert going on. So we need to do a kick_all_cpus_sync() before flushing the older hash table entries. By moving this to a separate function we capture these details and mention how it is different from a hugepage pte clear. This patch is a cleanup and only does code movement for clarity. There should not be any change in functionality. Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.

2015-06-24thp: cleanup how khugepaged enters freezerJiri Kosina
khugepaged_do_scan() checks in every iteration whether freezing(current) is true, and in such case breaks out of the loop, which causes try_to_freeze() to be called immediately afterwards in khugepaged_wait_work(). If nothing else, this causes unnecessary freezing(current) test, and also makes the way khugepaged enters freezer a bit less obvious than necessary. Let's just try to freeze directly, instead of splitting it into two (directly adjacent) phases.

2015-04-15thp: do not adjust zone water marks if khugepaged is not startedKirill A. Shutemov
set_recommended_min_free_kbytes() adjusts zone water marks to be suitable for khugepaged. We avoid doing this if khugepaged is disabled, but don't catch the case when khugepaged is failed to start. Let's address this by checking khugepaged_thread instead of khugepaged_enabled() in set_recommended_min_free_kbytes(). It's NULL if the kernel thread is stopped or failed to start.

2015-04-15mm, memcg: sync allocation and memcg charge gfp flags for THPMichal Hocko
memcg currently uses hardcoded GFP_TRANSHUGE gfp flags for all THP charges. THP allocations, however, might be using different flags depending on /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/{,khugepaged/}defrag and the current allocation context. The primary difference is that defrag configured to "madvise" value will clear __GFP_WAIT flag from the core gfp mask to make the allocation lighter for all mappings which are not backed by VM_HUGEPAGE vmas. If memcg charge path ignores this fact we will get light allocation but the a potential memcg reclaim would kill the whole point of the configuration. Fix the mismatch by providing the same gfp mask used for the allocation to the charge functions. This is quite easy for all paths except for hugepaged kernel thread with !CONFIG_NUMA which is doing a pre-allocation long before the allocated page is used in collapse_huge_page via khugepaged_alloc_page. To prevent from cluttering the whole code path from khugepaged_do_scan we simply return the current flags as per khugepaged_defrag() value which might have changed since the preallocation. If somebody changed the value of the knob we would charge differently but this shouldn't happen often and it is definitely not critical because it would only lead to a reduced success rate of one-off THP promotion.

2015-04-14mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage allocation to local nodeDavid Rientjes
Commit 077fcf116c8c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on local node") restructured alloc_hugepage_vma() with the intent of only allocating transparent hugepages locally when there was not an effective interleave mempolicy. alloc_pages_exact_node() does not limit the allocation to the single node, however, but rather prefers it. This is because __GFP_THISNODE is not set which would cause the node-local nodemask to be passed. Without it, only a nodemask that prefers the local node is passed. Fix this by passing __GFP_THISNODE and falling back to small pages when the allocation fails. Commit 9f1b868a13ac ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target node") suffers from a similar problem for khugepaged, which is also fixed.

2015-04-14mm: incorporate zero pages into transparent huge pagesEbru Akagunduz
This patch improves THP collapse rates, by allowing zero pages. Currently THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up to khugepaged_max_ptes_none pte_none ptes in a 2MB range. This patch counts pte none and mapped zero pages with the same variable. The patch was tested with a program that allocates 800MB of memory, and performs interleaved reads and writes, in a pattern that causes some 2MB areas to first see read accesses, resulting in the zero pfn being mapped there. To simulate memory fragmentation at allocation time, I modified do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page to return VM_FAULT_FALLBACK for read faults. Without the patch, only %50 of the program was collapsed into THP and the percentage did not increase over time. With this patch after 10 minutes of waiting khugepaged had collapsed %99 of the program's memory.

Base PTEs are marked young when the NUMA hinting information is cleared but the same does not happen for huge pages which this patch addresses. Note that migrated pages are not marked young as the base page migration code does not assume that migrated pages have been referenced. This could be addressed but beyond the scope of this series which is aimed at Dave Chinners shrink workload that is unlikely to be affected by this issue.

Dave Chinner reported the following on https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226 Across the board the 4.0-rc1 numbers are much slower, and the degradation is far worse when using the large memory footprint configs. Perf points straight at the cause - this is from 4.0-rc1 on the "-o bhash=101073" config: - 56.07% 56.07% [kernel] [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys - default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys - 99.99% physflat_send_IPI_mask - 99.37% native_send_call_func_ipi smp_call_function_many - native_flush_tlb_others - 99.85% flush_tlb_page ptep_clear_flush try_to_unmap_one rmap_walk try_to_unmap migrate_pages migrate_misplaced_page - handle_mm_fault - 99.73% __do_page_fault trace_do_page_fault do_async_page_fault + async_page_fault 0.63% native_send_call_func_single_ipi generic_exec_single smp_call_function_single This is showing excessive migration activity even though excessive migrations are meant to get throttled. Normally, the scan rate is tuned on a per-task basis depending on the locality of faults. However, if migrations fail for any reason then the PTE scanner may scan faster if the faults continue to be remote. This means there is higher system CPU overhead and fault trapping at exactly the time we know that migrations cannot happen. This patch tracks when migration failures occur and slows the PTE scanner.

2015-03-25mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting faultMel Gorman
Protecting a PTE to trap a NUMA hinting fault clears the writable bit and further faults are needed after trapping a NUMA hinting fault to set the writable bit again.

This patch (of 3): Threads that share writable data within pages are grouped together as related tasks. This decision is based on whether the PTE is marked dirty which is subject to timing races between the PTE scanner update and when the application writes the page. If the page is file-backed, then background flushes and sync also affect placement. This is unpredictable behaviour which is impossible to reason about so this patch makes grouping decisions based on the VMA flags.

2015-03-12mm: fix up numa read-only thread grouping logicLinus Torvalds
Dave Chinner reported that commit 4d9424669946 ("mm: convert p[te|md]_mknonnuma and remaining page table manipulations") slowed down his xfsrepair test enormously. In particular, it was using more system time due to extra TLB flushing. The ultimate reason turns out to be how the change to use the regular page table accessor functions broke the NUMA grouping logic. The old special mknuma/mknonnuma code accessed the page table present bit and the magic NUMA bit directly, while the new code just changes the page protections using PROT_NONE and the regular vma protections. That sounds equivalent, and from a fault standpoint it really is, but a subtle side effect is that the *other* protection bits of the page table entries also change. And the code to decide how to group the NUMA entries together used the writable bit to decide whether a particular page was likely to be shared read-only or not. And with the change to make the NUMA handling use the regular permission setting functions, that writable bit was basically always cleared for private mappings due to COW. So even if the page actually ends up being written to in the end, the NUMA balancing would act as if it was always shared RO. This code is a heuristic anyway, so the fix - at least for now - is to instead check whether the page is dirty rather than writable. The bit doesn't change with protection changes. NOTE! This also adds a FIXME comment to revisit this issue, Not only should we probably re-visit the whole "is this a shared read-only page" heuristic (we might want to take the vma permissions into account and base this more on those than the per-page ones, and also look at whether the particular access that triggers it is a write or not), but the whole COW issue shows that we should think about the NUMA fault handling some more. For example, maybe we should do the early-COW thing that a regular fault does. Or maybe we should accept that while using the same bits as PROTNONE was a good thing (and got rid of the specual NUMA bit), we might still want to just preseve the other protection bits across NUMA faulting. Those are bigger questions, left for later. This just fixes up the heuristic so that it at least approximates working again. More analysis and work needed.

pte_protnone_numa is only safe to use after VMA checks for PROT_NONE are complete. Treating a real PROT_NONE PTE as a NUMA hinting fault is going to result in strangeness so add a check for it. BUG_ON looks like overkill but if this is hit then it's a serious bug that could result in corruption so do not even try recovering. It would have been more comprehensive to check VMA flags in pte_protnone_numa but it would have made the API ugly just for a debugging check.

2015-02-12mm: numa: do not dereference pmd outside of the lock during NUMA hinting faultMel Gorman
Automatic NUMA balancing depends on being able to protect PTEs to trap a fault and gather reference locality information. Very broadly speaking it would mark PTEs as not present and use another bit to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults and other types of faults. It was universally loved by everybody and caused no problems whatsoever. That last sentence might be a lie. This series is very heavily based on patches from Linus and Aneesh to replace the existing PTE/PMD NUMA helper functions with normal change protections. I did alter and add parts of it but I consider them relatively minor contributions. At their suggestion, acked-bys are in there but I've no problem converting them to Signed-off-by if requested. AFAIK, this has received no testing on ppc64 and I'm depending on Aneesh for that. I tested trinity under kvm-tool and passed and ran a few other basic tests. At the time of writing, only the short-lived tests have completed but testing of V2 indicated that long-term testing had no surprises. In most cases I'm leaving out detail as it's not that interesting. specjbb single JVM: There was negligible performance difference in the benchmark itself for short runs. However, system activity is higher and interrupts are much higher over time -- possibly TLB flushes. Migrations are also higher. Overall, this is more overhead but considering the problems faced with the old approach I think we just have to suck it up and find another way of reducing the overhead. specjbb multi JVM: Negligible performance difference to the actual benchmark but like the single JVM case, the system overhead is noticeably higher. Again, interrupts are a major factor. autonumabench: This was all over the place and about all that can be reasonably concluded is that it's different but not necessarily better or worse. autonumabench 3.18.0-rc5 3.18.0-rc5 mmotm-20141119 protnone-v3r3 User NUMA01 32380.24 ( 0.00%) 21642.92 ( 33.16%) User NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 22481.02 ( 0.00%) 22283.22 ( 0.88%) User NUMA02 3137.00 ( 0.00%) 3116.54 ( 0.65%) User NUMA02_SMT 1614.03 ( 0.00%) 1543.53 ( 4.37%) System NUMA01 322.97 ( 0.00%) 1465.89 (-353.88%) System NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 91.87 ( 0.00%) 49.32 ( 46.32%) System NUMA02 37.83 ( 0.00%) 14.61 ( 61.38%) System NUMA02_SMT 7.36 ( 0.00%) 7.45 ( -1.22%) Elapsed NUMA01 716.63 ( 0.00%) 599.29 ( 16.37%) Elapsed NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 553.98 ( 0.00%) 539.94 ( 2.53%) Elapsed NUMA02 83.85 ( 0.00%) 83.04 ( 0.97%) Elapsed NUMA02_SMT 86.57 ( 0.00%) 79.15 ( 8.57%) CPU NUMA01 4563.00 ( 0.00%) 3855.00 ( 15.52%) CPU NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 4074.00 ( 0.00%) 4136.00 ( -1.52%) CPU NUMA02 3785.00 ( 0.00%) 3770.00 ( 0.40%) CPU NUMA02_SMT 1872.00 ( 0.00%) 1959.00 ( -4.65%) System CPU usage of NUMA01 is worse but it's an adverse workload on this machine so I'm reluctant to conclude that it's a problem that matters.

This correlates with high system CPU usage and could be simply down to bad luck but any modifications that affect that workload would be related to scan rates and migrations, not the protection mechanism. For all other workloads, migration activity was comparable. Overall, headline performance figures are comparable but the overhead is higher, mostly in interrupts. To some extent, higher overhead from this approach was anticipated but not to this degree. It's going to be necessary to reduce this again with a separate series in the future. It's still worth going ahead with this series though as it's likely to avoid constant headaches with Xen and is probably easier to maintain. This patch (of 10): A transhuge NUMA hinting fault may find the page is migrating and should wait until migration completes. The check is race-prone because the pmd is deferenced outside of the page lock and while the race is tiny, it'll be larger if the PMD is cleared while marking PMDs for hinting fault. This patch closes the race.

2015-02-11mm: incorporate read-only pages into transparent huge pagesEbru Akagunduz
This patch aims to improve THP collapse rates, by allowing THP collapse in the presence of read-only ptes, like those left in place by do_swap_page after a read fault. Currently THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up to khugepaged_max_ptes_none pte_none ptes in a 2MB range. This patch applies the same limit for read-only ptes. The patch was tested with a test program that allocates 800MB of memory, writes to it, and then sleeps. I force the system to swap out all but 190MB of the program by touching other memory. Afterwards, the test program does a mix of reads and writes to its memory, and the memory gets swapped back in.

2014-10-29mm, thp: fix collapsing of hugepages on madviseDavid Rientjes
If an anonymous mapping is not allowed to fault thp memory and then madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) is used after fault, khugepaged will never collapse this memory into thp memory. This occurs because the madvise(2) handler for thp, hugepage_madvise(), clears VM_NOHUGEPAGE on the stack and it isn't stored in vma->vm_flags until the final action of madvise_behavior(). This causes the khugepaged_enter_vma_merge() to be a no-op in hugepage_madvise() when the vma had previously had VM_NOHUGEPAGE set. Fix this by passing the correct vma flags to the khugepaged mm slot handler. There's no chance khugepaged can run on this vma until after madvise_behavior() returns since we hold mm->mmap_sem. It would be possible to clear VM_NOHUGEPAGE directly from vma->vm_flags in hugepage_advise(), but I didn't want to introduce special case behavior into madvise_behavior(). I think it's best to just let it always set vma->vm_flags itself. Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Reported-by: Suleiman Souhlal <suleiman@google.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

2014-10-09mm, THP: don't hold mmap_sem in khugepaged when allocating THPVlastimil Babka
When allocating huge page for collapsing, khugepaged currently holds mmap_sem for reading on the mm where collapsing occurs. Afterwards the read lock is dropped before write lock is taken on the same mmap_sem. Holding mmap_sem during whole huge page allocation is therefore useless, the vma needs to be rechecked after taking the write lock anyway. Furthemore, huge page allocation might involve a rather long sync compaction, and thus block any mmap_sem writers and i.e. affect workloads that perform frequent m(un)map or mprotect oterations. This patch simply releases the read lock before allocating a huge page. It also deletes an outdated comment that assumed vma must be stable, as it was using alloc_hugepage_vma(). This is no longer true since commit 9f1b868a13ac ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target node").

This patch reverts 1ba6e0b50b ("mm: numa: split_huge_page: transfer the NUMA type from the pmd to the pte"). If a huge page is being split due a protection change and the tail will be in a PROT_NONE vma then NUMA hinting PTEs are temporarily created in the protected VMA. VM_RW|VM_PROTNONE |-----------------| ^ split here In the specific case above, it should get fixed up by change_pte_range() but there is a window of opportunity for weirdness to happen. Similarly, if a huge page is shrunk and split during a protection update but before pmd_numa is cleared then a pte_numa can be left behind. Instead of adding complexity trying to deal with the case, this patch will not mark PTEs NUMA when splitting a huge page. NUMA hinting faults will not be triggered which is marginal in comparison to the complexity in dealing with the corner cases during THP split.

Worse, uncharge has to happen from a context that is still type-specific, rather than at the end of the page's lifetime with exclusive access, and so requires a lot of synchronization. Rewrite the charge API to provide a generic set of try_charge(), commit_charge() and cancel_charge() transaction operations, much like what's currently done for swap-in: mem_cgroup_try_charge() attempts to reserve a charge, reclaiming pages from the memcg if necessary. mem_cgroup_commit_charge() commits the page to the charge once it has a valid page->mapping and PageAnon() reliably tells the type. mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() aborts the transaction. This reduces the charge API and enables subsequent patches to drastically simplify uncharging. As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU additions again. Revive lru_cache_add_active_or_unevictable().

2014-08-06mm, thp: only collapse hugepages to nodes with affinity for zone_reclaim_modeDavid Rientjes
Commit 9f1b868a13ac ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target node") improved the previous khugepaged logic which allocated a transparent hugepages from the node of the first page being collapsed. However, it is still possible to collapse pages to remote memory which may suffer from additional access latency. With the current policy, it is possible that 255 pages (with PAGE_SHIFT == 12) will be collapsed remotely if the majority are allocated from that node. When zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, it means the VM should make every attempt to allocate locally to prevent NUMA performance degradation. In this case, we do not want to collapse hugepages to remote nodes that would suffer from increased access latency. Thus, when zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, only allow collapsing to nodes with RECLAIM_DISTANCE or less. There is no functional change for systems that disable zone_reclaim_mode.

2014-08-06mm: huge_memory: use GFP_TRANSHUGE when charging huge pagesJohannes Weiner
Transparent huge page charges prefer falling back to regular pages rather than spending a lot of time in direct reclaim. Desired reclaim behavior is usually declared in the gfp mask, but THP charges use GFP_KERNEL and then rely on the fact that OOM is disabled for THP charges, and that OOM-disabled charges don't retry reclaim. Needless to say, this is anything but obvious and quite error prone. Convert THP charges to use GFP_TRANSHUGE instead, which implies __GFP_NORETRY, to indicate the low-latency requirement.

In __split_huge_page_map(), the check for page_mapcount(page) is invariant within the for loop. Because of the fact that the macro is implemented using atomic_read(), the redundant check cannot be optimized away by the compiler leading to unnecessary read to the page structure.

Trinity has reported: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 IP: __lock_acquire (kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3070 (discriminator 1)) CPU: 6 PID: 16173 Comm: trinity-c364 Tainted: G W 3.15.0-rc1-next-20140415-sasha-00020-gaa90d09 #398 lock_acquire (arch/x86/include/asm/current.h:14 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3602) _raw_spin_lock (include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:143 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:151) remove_migration_pte (mm/migrate.c:137) rmap_walk (mm/rmap.c:1628 mm/rmap.c:1699) remove_migration_ptes (mm/migrate.c:224) migrate_pages (mm/migrate.c:922 mm/migrate.c:960 mm/migrate.c:1126) migrate_misplaced_page (mm/migrate.c:1733) __handle_mm_fault (mm/memory.c:3762 mm/memory.c:3812 mm/memory.c:3925) handle_mm_fault (mm/memory.c:3948) __get_user_pages (mm/memory.c:1851) __mlock_vma_pages_range (mm/mlock.c:255) __mm_populate (mm/mlock.c:711) SyS_mlockall (include/linux/mm.h:1799 mm/mlock.c:817 mm/mlock.c:791) I believe this comes about because, whereas collapsing and splitting THP functions take anon_vma lock in write mode (which excludes concurrent rmap walks), faulting THP functions (write protection and misplaced NUMA) do not - and mostly they do not need to. But they do use a pmdp_clear_flush(), set_pmd_at() sequence which, for an instant (indeed, for a long instant, given the inter-CPU TLB flush in there), leaves *pmd neither present not trans_huge. Which can confuse a concurrent rmap walk, as when removing migration ptes, seen in the dumped trace. Although that rmap walk has a 4k page to insert, anon_vmas containing THPs are in no way segregated from 4k-page anon_vmas, so the 4k-intent mm_find_pmd() does need to cope with that instant when a trans_huge pmd is temporarily absent. I don't think we need strengthen the locking at the THP end: it's easily handled with an ACCESS_ONCE() before testing both conditions. And since mm_find_pmd() had only one caller who wanted a THP rather than a pmd, let's slightly repurpose it to fail when it hits a THP or non-present pmd, and open code split_huge_page_address() again.

2014-06-23mm: thp: fix DEBUG_PAGEALLOC oops in copy_page_rep()Hugh Dickins
Trinity has for over a year been reporting a CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC oops in copy_page_rep() called from copy_user_huge_page() called from do_huge_pmd_wp_page(). I believe this is a DEBUG_PAGEALLOC false positive, due to the source page being split, and a tail page freed, while copy is in progress; and not a problem without DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since the pmd_same() check will prevent a miscopy from being made visible. Fix by adding get_user_huge_page() and put_user_huge_page(): reducing to the usual get_page() and put_page() on head page in the usual config; but get and put references to all of the tail pages when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.

2014-04-18thp: close race between split and zap huge pagesKirill A. Shutemov
Sasha Levin has reported two THP BUGs[1][2]. I believe both of them have the same root cause. Let's look to them one by one. The first bug[1] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1829!". It's BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) in __split_huge_page(). From my testing I see that page_mapcount() is higher than mapcount here. I think it happens due to race between zap_huge_pmd() and page_check_address_pmd(). page_check_address_pmd() misses PMD which is under zap: CPU0 CPU1 zap_huge_pmd() pmdp_get_and_clear() __split_huge_page() anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach() __split_huge_page_splitting() page_check_address_pmd() mm_find_pmd() /* * We check if PMD present without taking ptl: no * serialization against zap_huge_pmd(). We miss this PMD, * it's not accounted to 'mapcount' in __split_huge_page(). */ pmd_present(pmd) == 0 BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) // CRASH!!! page_remove_rmap(page) atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount) The second bug[2] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1371!". It's VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page) in zap_huge_pmd(). This happens in similar way: CPU0 CPU1 zap_huge_pmd() pmdp_get_and_clear() page_remove_rmap(page) atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount) __split_huge_page() anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach() __split_huge_page_splitting() page_check_address_pmd() mm_find_pmd() pmd_present(pmd) == 0 /* The same comment as above */ /* * No crash this time since we already decremented page->_mapcount in * zap_huge_pmd(). */ BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) /* * We split the compound page here into small pages without * serialization against zap_huge_pmd() */ __split_huge_page_refcount() VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page); // CRASH!!! So my understanding the problem is pmd_present() check in mm_find_pmd() without taking page table lock. The bug was introduced by me commit with commit 117b0791ac42. Sorry for that. :( Let's open code mm_find_pmd() in page_check_address_pmd() and do the check under page table lock. Note that __page_check_address() does the same for PTE entires if sync != 0. I've stress tested split and zap code paths for 36+ hours by now and don't see crashes with the patch applied. Before it took <20 min to trigger the first bug and few hours for second one (if we ignore first).
