Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc: add one PCP list for THP
From: yangge <yangge1116@....com>
Since commit 5d0a661d808f ("mm/page_alloc: use only one PCP list for
THP-sized allocations") no longer differentiates the migration type
of pages in THP-sized PCP list, it's possible that non-movable
allocation requests may get a CMA page from the list, in some cases,
it's not acceptable.
If a large number of CMA memory are configured in system (for
example, the CMA memory accounts for 50% of the system memory),
starting a virtual machine with device passthrough will get stuck.
During starting the virtual machine, it will call
pin_user_pages_remote(..., FOLL_LONGTERM, ...) to pin memory. Normally
if a page is present and in CMA area, pin_user_pages_remote() will
migrate the page from CMA area to non-CMA area because of
FOLL_LONGTERM flag. But if non-movable allocation requests return
CMA memory, migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages() will migrate a CMA
page to another CMA page, which will fail to pass the check in
check_and_migrate_movable_pages() and cause migration endless.
Call trace:
pin_user_pages_remote
--__gup_longterm_locked // endless loops in this function
----_get_user_pages_locked
----check_and_migrate_movable_pages
------migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages
--------alloc_migration_target
To fix the problem above, we add one PCP list for THP, which will
not introduce a new cacheline. THP will have 2 PCP lists, one PCP
list is used by MOVABLE allocation, and the other PCP list is used
by UNMOVABLE allocation. MOVABLE allocation contains GPF_MOVABLE,
and UNMOVABLE allocation contains GFP_UNMOVABLE and GFP_RECLAIMABLE.
