The patch titled Subject: mm: move_pages: return valid node id in status if the page is already on the target node has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-move_pages-return-valid-node-id-in-status-if-the-page-is-already-on-the-target-node.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: Yang Shi yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com Subject: mm: move_pages: return valid node id in status if the page is already on the target node
Felix Abecassis reports move_pages() would return random status if the pages are already on the target node by the below test program:
---8<---
int main(void) { const long node_id = 1; const long page_size = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE); const int64_t num_pages = 8;
unsigned long nodemask = 1 << node_id; long ret = set_mempolicy(MPOL_BIND, &nodemask, sizeof(nodemask)); if (ret < 0) return (EXIT_FAILURE);
void **pages = malloc(sizeof(void*) * num_pages); for (int i = 0; i < num_pages; ++i) { pages[i] = mmap(NULL, page_size, PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_POPULATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); if (pages[i] == MAP_FAILED) return (EXIT_FAILURE); }
ret = set_mempolicy(MPOL_DEFAULT, NULL, 0); if (ret < 0) return (EXIT_FAILURE);
int *nodes = malloc(sizeof(int) * num_pages); int *status = malloc(sizeof(int) * num_pages); for (int i = 0; i < num_pages; ++i) { nodes[i] = node_id; status[i] = 0xd0; /* simulate garbage values */ }
ret = move_pages(0, num_pages, pages, nodes, status, MPOL_MF_MOVE); printf("move_pages: %ld ", ret); for (int i = 0; i < num_pages; ++i) printf("status[%d] = %d ", i, status[i]); } ---8<---
Then running the program would return nonsense status values: $ ./move_pages_bug move_pages: 0 status[0] = 208 status[1] = 208 status[2] = 208 status[3] = 208 status[4] = 208 status[5] = 208 status[6] = 208 status[7] = 208
This is because the status is not set if the page is already on the target node, but move_pages() should return valid status as long as it succeeds. The valid status may be errno or node id.
We can't simply initialize status array to zero since the pages may be not on node 0. Fix it by updating status with node id which the page is already on.
