From 29fac03bef729ef6f9fba5be56f8554093813c39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Minchan Kim Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2016 16:42:14 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: make unreserve highatomic functions reliable Currently, unreserve_highatomic_pageblock bails out if it found highatomic pageblock regardless of really moving free pages from the one so that it could mitigate unreserve logic's goal which saves OOM of a process. This patch makes unreserve functions bail out only if it moves some pages out of !highatomic free list to avoid such false positive. Another potential problem is that by race between page freeing and reserve highatomic function, pages could be in highatomic free list even though the pageblock is !high atomic migratetype. In that case, unreserve_highatomic_pageblock can be void if count of highatomic reserve is less than pageblock_nr_pages. We could solve it simply via draining all of reserved pages before the OOM. It would have a safeguard role to exhuast reserved pages before converging to OOM.
