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) Signed-off-by: Xishi Qiu <qiuxishi@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
