Subject: [PATCH] mm: thp: fix false negative of shmem vma's THP eligibility
Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2019 06:24:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1555971893-52276-1-git-send-email-yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

The commit 7635d9cbe832 ("mm, thp, proc: report THP eligibility for each
vma") introduced THPeligible bit for processes' smaps. But, when checking
the eligibility for shmem vma, __transparent_hugepage_enabled() is
called to override the result from shmem_huge_enabled().  It may result
in the anonymous vma's THP flag override shmem's.  For example, running a
simple test which create THP for shmem, but with anonymous THP disabled,
when reading the process's smaps, it may show:

7fc92ec00000-7fc92f000000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 27764 /dev/shm/test
Size:               4096 kB
...
[snip]
...
ShmemPmdMapped:     4096 kB
...
[snip]
...
THPeligible:    0

And, /proc/meminfo does show THP allocated and PMD mapped too:

ShmemHugePages:     4096 kB
ShmemPmdMapped:     4096 kB

This doesn't make too much sense.  The anonymous THP flag should not
intervene shmem THP.  Calling shmem_huge_enabled() with checking
MMF_DISABLE_THP sounds good enough.  And, we could skip stack and
dax vma check since we already checked if the vma is shmem already.
