| |
When the unmapped hugetlb page is poisoned, the page is locked for checking some conditions of page. When one of the following condition in __memory_failure() if (!PageHWPoison(hpage) || (hwpoison_filter(p) && TestClearPageHWPoison(p)) || (p != hpage && TestSetPageHWPoison(hpage) { ... }
is matched, it just returns from __memory_failure() without unlocking the locked hugetlb page. This will block the process which wants to map the blocked hugetlb page.
If some process is blocked, error message could be outputted as following: kernel: INFO: task hmmap:3307 blocked for more than 120 seconds. kernel: "echo 0 > /proc/sys/ kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. kernel: hmmap D ffff880196946100 0 3307 1 0x00000080 kernel: ffff880196946100 0000000000000086 ffff880195ca6040 0000000000000000 kernel: 0000000000000046 ffffffff81036a7d ffffffff81d08980 0000000000000000 kernel: ffffffff8189c74c ffffffff814f6886 000000000000002e 0000000000000246 kernel: Call Trace: kernel: [<ffffffff81036a7d>] ? release_console_sem+0x174/0x18e kernel: [<ffffffff810914f4>] ? sync_page+0x0/0x48 kernel: [<ffffffff813bcbdb>] ? io_schedule+0x56/0x8c kernel: [<ffffffff81091538>] ? sync_page+0x44/0x48 kernel: [<ffffffff813bd0ab>] ? __wait_on_bit_lock+0x3e/0x83 kernel: [<ffffffff810914e1>] ? __lock_page+0x5e/0x64 kernel: [<ffffffff8104ea89>] ? wake_bit_function+0x0/0x23 kernel: [<ffffffff810bd723>] ? hugetlb_fault+0x38e/0x6ef kernel: [<ffffffff813c11ac>] ? do_page_fault+0x283/0x3dd kernel: [<ffffffff81032546>] ? __wake_up+0x30/0x44 kernel: [<ffffffff813be79f>] ? page_fault+0x1f/0x30
This is because the hugetlb page has been locked in __memory_failure(), the process will be blocked by lock_page() in hugetlb_fault() all the time.
So this patch unlock the locked hugetlb page before returning from __memory_failure().
