The patch titled Subject: mm: slab: make page_cgroup_ino() to recognize non-compound slab pages properly has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-slab-make-page_cgroup_ino-to-recognize-non-compound-slab-pages-properly.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: Roman Gushchin guro@fb.com Subject: mm: slab: make page_cgroup_ino() to recognize non-compound slab pages properly
page_cgroup_ino() doesn't return a valid memcg pointer for non-compound slab pages, because it depends on PgHead AND PgSlab flags to be set to determine the memory cgroup from the kmem_cache. It's correct for compound pages, but not for generic small pages. Those don't have PgHead set, so it ends up returning zero.
Fix this by replacing the condition to PageSlab() && !PageTail().
Before this patch: [root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -c /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-0.slice/user@0.service/ | grep slab 0x0000000000000080 38 0 _______S___________________________________ slab
After this patch: [root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -c /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-0.slice/user@0.service/ | grep slab 0x0000000000000080 147 0 _______S___________________________________ slab
Also, hwpoison_filter_task() uses output of page_cgroup_ino() in order to filter error injection events based on memcg. So if page_cgroup_ino() fails to return memcg pointer, we just fail to inject memory error. Considering that hwpoison filter is for testing, affected users are limited and the impact should be marginal.
