mm: fix process accidentally killed by mce because of huge page migration
Based on c8721bbbdd36382de51cd6b7a56322e0acca2414 upstream, but only the
bugfix portion pulled out.
Hi Naoya or Greg,
We found a bug in 3.10.x.
The problem is that we accidentally have a hwpoisoned hugepage in free
hugepage list. It could happend in the the following scenario:
process A process B
migrate_huge_page
put_page (old hugepage)
linked to free hugepage list
hugetlb_fault
hugetlb_no_page
alloc_huge_page
dequeue_huge_page_vma
dequeue_huge_page_node
(steal hwpoisoned hugepage)
set_page_hwpoison_huge_page
dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page
(fail to dequeue)
I tested this bug, one process keeps allocating huge page, and I
use sysfs interface to soft offline a huge page, then received:
"MCE: Killing UCP:2717 due to hardware memory corruption fault at 8200034"
Upstream kernel is free from this bug because of these two commits:
f15bdfa802bfa5eb6b4b5a241b97ec9fa1204a35
mm/memory-failure.c: fix memory leak in successful soft offlining
c8721bbbdd36382de51cd6b7a56322e0acca2414
mm: memory-hotplug: enable memory hotplug to handle hugepage
The first one, although the problem is about memory leak, this patch
moves unset_migratetype_isolate(), which is important to avoid the race.
The latter is not a bug fix and it's too big, so I rewrite a small one.
The following patch can fix this bug.(please apply f15bdfa802bf first)
