[PATCH v2 1/4] mm/memory-failure: split thp earlier in memory error handling

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Thu May 14 2015 - 06:41:45 EST


memory_failure() doesn't handle thp itself at this time and need to split
it before doing isolation. Currently thp is split in the middle of
hwpoison_user_mappings(), but there're corner cases where memory_failure()
wrongly tries to handle thp without splitting.
1) "non anonymous" thp, which is not a normal operating mode of thp, but
a memory error could hit a thp before anon_vma is initialized. In such case,
split_huge_page() fails and me_huge_page() (intended for hugetlb) is called
for thp, which triggers BUG_ON in page_hstate().
2) !PageLRU case, where hwpoison_user_mappings() returns with SWAP_SUCCESS
and the result is the same as case 1.

memory_failure() can't avoid splitting, so let's split it more earlier, which
also reduces code which are prepared for both of normal page and thp.
