But it appears it # does. Suspicious. # # However, regardless of that, the condition for enabling NUMA faults in # change_pte_range() is nonsensical. It uses "page_mapcount(page)" to # decide if a COW page should be NUMA-protected or not, and that makes # absolutely no sense. # # The number of mappings a page has is irrelevant: not only does GUP get a # reference to a page as in Oded's case, but the other mappings migth be # paged out and the only reference to them would be in the page count. # # Since we should never try to NUMA-balance a page that we can't move # anyway due to other references, just fix the code to use 'page_count()'. # Oded confirms that that fixes his issue. # # Now, this does imply that something in NUMA balancing ends up changing # page protections (other than the obvious one of making the page # inaccessible to get the NUMA faulting information). Otherwise the COW # simplification wouldn't matter - since doing the GUP on the page would # make sure it's writable. # # The cause of that permission change would be good to figure out too, # since it clearly results in spurious COW events - but fixing the # nonsensical test that just happened to work before is obviously the # CorrectThing(tm) to do regardless. # # Fixes: 09854ba94c6a ("mm: do_wp_page() simplification") # Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215616 # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAFCwf10eNmwq2wD71xjUhqkvv5+_pJMR1nPug2RqNDcFT4H86Q@mail.gmail.com/ # Reported-and-tested-by: Oded Gabbay <oded.gabbay@gmail.com> # Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> # Cc: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-11.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-11.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 80d47f5de5e311cbc0d01ebb6ee684e8f4c196c6 # < make -s -j 120 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_powernv_defconfig+THIN_powerpc-gcc11 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-11.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- powernv_defconfig # Added to kconfig CONFIG_USE_THIN_ARCHIVES=y # < make -s -j 120 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_powernv_defconfig+THIN_powerpc-gcc11 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-11.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- help # make -s -j 120 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_powernv_defconfig+THIN_powerpc-gcc11 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-11.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 120 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_powernv_defconfig+THIN_powerpc-gcc11 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-11.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_powernv_defconfig+THIN_powerpc-gcc11 # Build took: 0:01:25.161947
