The mm-of-the-moment snapshot 2018-07-10-16-50 has been uploaded to

   http://www.ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/

mmotm-readme.txt says

README for mm-of-the-moment:

http://www.ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/

This is a snapshot of my -mm patch queue.  Uploaded at random hopefully
more than once a week.

You will need quilt to apply these patches to the latest Linus release (4.x
or 4.x-rcY).  The series file is in broken-out.tar.gz and is duplicated in
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/series

The file broken-out.tar.gz contains two datestamp files: .DATE and
.DATE-yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss.  Both contain the string yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss,
followed by the base kernel version against which this patch series is to
be applied.

This tree is partially included in linux-next.  To see which patches are
included in linux-next, consult the `series' file.  Only the patches
within the #NEXT_PATCHES_START/#NEXT_PATCHES_END markers are included in
linux-next.

A git tree which contains the memory management portion of this tree is
maintained at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mhocko/mm.git
by Michal Hocko.  It contains the patches which are between the
"#NEXT_PATCHES_START mm" and "#NEXT_PATCHES_END" markers, from the series
file, http://www.ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/series.


A full copy of the full kernel tree with the linux-next and mmotm patches
already applied is available through git within an hour of the mmotm
release.  Individual mmotm releases are tagged.  The master branch always
points to the latest release, so it's constantly rebasing.

http://git.cmpxchg.org/cgit.cgi/linux-mmotm.git/

To develop on top of mmotm git:

  $ git remote add mmotm git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mhocko/mm.git
  $ git remote update mmotm
  $ git checkout -b topic mmotm/master
  <make changes, commit>
  $ git send-email mmotm/master.. [...]

To rebase a branch with older patches to a new mmotm release:

  $ git remote update mmotm
  $ git rebase --onto mmotm/master <topic base> topic




The directory http://www.ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/ (mm-of-the-second)
contains daily snapshots of the -mm tree.  It is updated more frequently
than mmotm, and is untested.

A git copy of this tree is available at

	http://git.cmpxchg.org/cgit.cgi/linux-mmots.git/

and use of this tree is similar to
http://git.cmpxchg.org/cgit.cgi/linux-mmotm.git/, described above.

This seems to be breaking my powerpc pseries qemu boots.

The boot log with some extra debug shows eg:

  <repeated many times>

Then there's lots of other warnings about bad page states and eventually
a NULL deref and we panic().


The problem seems to be that we're calling down into
hash__vmemmap_create_mapping() for every call to vmemmap_populate(),
whereas previously we would only call hash__vmemmap_create_mapping()
once because our vmemmap_populated() would return true.

There's actually a comment in sparse_init() that says:

	 * powerpc need to call sparse_init_one_section right after each
	 * sparse_early_mem_map_alloc, so allocate usemap_map at first.

So changing that behaviour does seem to be the problem.

I assume that comment is talking about the fact that we use pfn_valid()
in vmemmap_populated().

I'm not clear on how to fix it though.

Any ideas?

cheers

Have you tried reverting that patch and building kernel to test again?
Does it work?

Could you please share the config?

I am OK, if this patch is removed from Baoquan's series. But, I would
still like to get rid of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_ALLOC_MEM_MAP_TOGETHER, I
can work on this in my sparse_init re-write series. ppc64 should
really fallback safely to small chunks allocs, and if it does not
there is some existing bug. Michael please send the config that you
used.

Thank you,

Reverting that patch on top of 98be45067040799a801e6ce52d8bf4659a153893
works as before.

It's a generated config, see:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/powerpc/Makefile?commit=021c91791a5e7e85c567452f1be3e4c2c6cb6063#n315


It's based on pseries_defconfig, which is an actual file in the tree,
but with the endian flipped.

You can see the generated result from a recent build here:

  http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/13428803/config/

Yeah I think that's correct.

This might just be a bug in our code, let me look at it a bit.

Yes, this is right, sparse_init_one_section() is needed after every
populate call on ppc64. I am adding this to my sparse_init re-write,

makes ppc64 to work.
