I did not try to # reproduce on powerpc, but looking at the code, the same should apply to # powerpc/cmm ever since it started using the balloon compaction # infrastructure (luckily just recently). # # In case we have to migrate a ballon page to a newpage of another zone, the # managed page count of both zones is wrong. Paired with memory offlining # (which will adjust the managed page count), we can trigger kernel crashes # and all kinds of different symptoms. # # Fix it by properly adjusting the managed page count when migrating if # the zone changed. # # We'll temporarily modify the totalram page count. If this ever becomes a # problem, we can fine tune by providing helpers that don't touch # the totalram pages (e.g., adjust_zone_managed_page_count()). # # Fixes: fe030c9b85e6 ("powerpc/pseries/cmm: Implement balloon compaction") # Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand # Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191216103058.4958-1-david@redhat.com # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 892db32b07b340b60492e8e543aedc039639eef1 # < make -s -j 32 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_tqm8xx_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- tqm8xx_defconfig # make -s -j 32 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_tqm8xx_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_tqm8xx_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 # Build took: 0:00:45.852380
