I've backported all the commits that Mel quoted to 3.6.6 and appended them
to this email as one big patch. It should apply cleanly to your kernel.
Now we are only missing these commits that weren't quoted:
- 1fb3f8ca0e92 ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page
immediately when it is made available"), and
- 83fde0f22872 ("mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by
reclaim/compaction based on failures").
Since your regression is easily reproducible, would it be possible to try
to reproduce the issue FIRST with 3.6.6 and, if still present as it was in
3.6.2, then try reproducing it with the appended patch?
You earlier reported that khugepaged was taking the second-most cpu time
when this was happening, which initially pointed you to thp, so presumably
this isn't a kswapd issue running at 100%. If both 3.6.6 kernels fail
(the one with and without the following patch), would it be possible to
try Mel's suggestion of patching with
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/308 +
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/12/113
to see if it helps and, if not, reverting the latter and trying
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/308 +
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/12/151
as the final test? This will certainly help us to find out what needs to
be backported to 3.6 stable to prevent this issue for other users.
Thanks!
