You're right, sorry I didn't notice, lots of ccs but neither lkml nor linux-mm were on that thread from the start: From=20hughd@google.com Thu Mar 5 18:16:06 2020 Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2020 18:15:40 -0800 (PST) From: Hugh Dickins To: Andew Morton , Alex Shi Cc: cgroups@vger.kernel.org, mgorman@techsingularity.net, tj@kernel.org, hu= ghd@google.com, khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru, daniel.m.jordan@oracle.com, yang= =2Eshi@linux.alibaba.com, willy@infradead.org, hannes@cmpxchg.org, lkp@inte= l.com, Fengguang Wu , Rong Chen Subject: Re: [PATCH v9 00/21] per lruvec lru_lock for memcg On Tue, 3 Mar 2020, Alex Shi wrote: > =E5=9C=A8 2020/3/3 =E4=B8=8A=E5=8D=886:12, Andrew Morton =E5=86=99=E9=81= =93: > >> Thanks for Testing support from Intel 0day and Rong Chen, Fengguang Wu= , > >> and Yun Wang. > > I'm not seeing a lot of evidence of review and test activity yet.

Is it no news is good news? :) And now the bad news. Andrew, please revert those six (or seven as they ended up in mmotm). 5.6-rc4-mm1 without them runs my tmpfs+loop+swapping+memcg+ksm kernel build loads fine (did four hours just now), but 5.6-rc4-mm1 itself crashed just after starting - seconds or minutes I didn't see, but it did not complete an iteration. I thought maybe those six would be harmless (though I've not looked at them at all); but knew already that the full series is not good yet: I gave it a try over 5.6-rc4 on Monday, and crashed very soon on simpler testing, in different ways from what hits mmotm. The first thing wrong with the full set was when I tried tmpfs+loop+ swapping kernel builds in "mem=3D700M cgroup_disabled=3Dmemory", of course with CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=3Dy. That soon collapsed in a splurge of OOM kills and list_del corruption messages: __list_del_entry_valid < list_del < __page_cache_release < __put_page < put_page < __try_to_reclaim_swap < free_swap_and_cache < shmem_free_swap < shmem_undo_range. When I next tried with "mem=3D1G" and memcg enabled (but not being used), that managed some iterations, no OOM kills, no list_del warnings (was it swapping? perhaps, perhaps not, I was trying to go easy on it just to see if "cgroup_disabled=3Dmemory" had been the problem); but when rebooting after that, again list_del corruption messages and crash (I didn't note them down). So I didn't take much notice of what the mmotm crash backtrace showed (but IIRC shmem and swap were in it). Alex, I'm afraid you're focusing too much on performance results, without doing the basic testing needed - I thought we had given you some hints on the challenging areas (swapping, move_charge_at_immigrate, page migration) when we attached a *correctly working* 5.3 version back on 23rd August: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/alpine.LSU.2.11.1908231736001.16920@eggly.= anvils/ (Correctly working, except missing two patches I'd mistakenly dropped as unnecessary in earlier rebases: but our discussions with Johannes later showed to be very necessary, though their races rarely seen.) I have not had the time (and do not expect to have the time) to review your series: maybe it's one or two small fixes away from being complete, or maybe it's still fundamentally flawed, I do not know. I had naively hoped that you would help with a patchset that worked, rather than cutting it down into something which does not. Submitting your series to routine testing is much easier for me than reviewing it: but then, yes, it's a pity that I don't find the time to report the results on intervening versions, which also crashed. What I have to do now, is set aside time today and tomorrow, to package up the old scripts I use, describe them and their environment, and send them to you (cc akpm in case I fall under a bus): so that you can reproduce the crashes for yourself, and get to work on them.
