Oh, interesting. Thanks for looping me in, I hadn't looked at this one at all. Building on the debugging you did, this is the interesting part of the backtrace to me: > > > try_to_free_pages+0x29f/0x720 mm/vmscan.c:3264 > > > __perform_reclaim mm/page_alloc.c:4360 [inline] > > > __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim mm/page_alloc.c:4381 [inline] > > > __alloc_pages_slowpath.constprop.0+0x917/0x2510 mm/page_alloc.c:4785 > > > __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x5f0/0x730 mm/page_alloc.c:4995 > > > alloc_pages_current+0x191/0x2a0 mm/mempolicy.c:2271 > > > alloc_pages include/linux/gfp.h:547 [inline] > > > __page_cache_alloc mm/filemap.c:977 [inline] > > > __page_cache_alloc+0x2ce/0x360 mm/filemap.c:962 > > > page_cache_ra_unbounded+0x3a1/0x920 mm/readahead.c:216 > > > do_page_cache_ra+0xf9/0x140 mm/readahead.c:267 > > > do_sync_mmap_readahead mm/filemap.c:2721 [inline] > > > filemap_fault+0x19d0/0x2940 mm/filemap.c:2809 So ra_pages has been set to something ridiculously large, and as a result, we call do_page_cache_ra() asking to read more memory than is available in the machine. Funny thing, we actually have a function to prevent this kind of situation, and it's force_page_cache_ra(). So this might fix the problem. I only tested that it compiles. I'll be happy to write up a proper changelog and sign-off for it if it works ... it'd be good to get it some soak testing on a variety of different workloads; changing this stuff is enormously subtle. As a testament to that, I think Fengguang got it wrong in commit 2cbea1d3ab11 -- async_size should have been 3 * ra_pages / 4, not ra_pages / 4 (because we read-behind by half the range, so we're looking for a page fault to happen a quarter of the way behind this fault ...)
