------------------------------------------------------ From: yangge yangge1116@126.com Subject: mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch Date: Sat, 22 Jun 2024 14:48:04 +0800

If a large number of CMA memory are configured in system (for example, the CMA memory accounts for 50% of the system memory), starting a virtual machine, it will call pin_user_pages_remote(..., FOLL_LONGTERM, ...) to pin memory. Normally if a page is present and in CMA area, pin_user_pages_remote() will migrate the page from CMA area to non-CMA area because of FOLL_LONGTERM flag. But the current code will cause the migration failure due to unexpected page refcounts, and eventually cause the virtual machine fail to start.

If a page is added in LRU batch, its refcount increases one, remove the page from LRU batch decreases one. Page migration requires the page is not referenced by others except page mapping. Before migrating a page, we should try to drain the page from LRU batch in case the page is in it, however, folio_test_lru() is not sufficient to tell whether the page is in LRU batch or not, if the page is in LRU batch, the migration will fail.

To solve the problem above, we modify the logic of adding to LRU batch. Before adding a page to LRU batch, we clear the LRU flag of the page so that we can check whether the page is in LRU batch by folio_test_lru(page). Seems making the LRU flag of the page invisible a long time is no problem, because a new page is allocated from buddy and added to the lru batch, its LRU flag is also not visible for a long time.
