Its filename was mm-thp-use-head-page-in-__migration_entry_wait.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Xu Yu Subject: mm, thp: use head page in __migration_entry_wait() We notice that hung task happens in a corner but practical scenario when CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is enabled, as follows. Process 0 Process 1 Process 2..Inf split_huge_page_to_list unmap_page split_huge_pmd_address __migration_entry_wait(head) __migration_entry_wait(tail) remap_page (roll back) remove_migration_ptes rmap_walk_anon cond_resched Where __migration_entry_wait(tail) is occurred in kernel space, e.g., copy_to_user in fstat, which will immediately fault again without rescheduling, and thus occupy the cpu fully. When there are too many processes performing __migration_entry_wait on tail page, remap_page will never be done after cond_resched. This makes __migration_entry_wait operate on the compound head page, thus waits for remap_page to complete, whether the THP is split successfully or roll back. Note that put_and_wait_on_page_locked helps to drop the page reference acquired with get_page_unless_zero, as soon as the page is on the wait queue, before actually waiting. So splitting the THP is only prevented for a brief interval.
