[PATCHv11 37/37] thp: allow mlocked THP again

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Fri Sep 18 2015 - 11:07:41 EST


Before THP refcounting rework, THP was not allowed to cross VMA boundary.
So, if we have THP and we split it, PG_mlocked can be safely transfered to
small pages.

With new THP refcounting and naive approach to mlocking we can end up with
this scenario:
1. we have a mlocked THP, which belong to one VM_LOCKED VMA.
2. the process does munlock() on the *part* of the THP:
- the VMA is split into two, one of them VM_LOCKED;
- huge PMD split into PTE table;
- THP is still mlocked;
3. split_huge_page():
- it transfers PG_mlocked to *all* small pages regrardless if it
blong to any VM_LOCKED VMA.

We probably could munlock() all small pages on split_huge_page(), but I
think we have accounting issue already on step two.

Instead of forbidding mlocked pages altogether, we just avoid mlocking
PTE-mapped THPs and munlock THPs on split_huge_pmd().

This means PTE-mapped THPs will be on normal lru lists and will be
split under memory pressure by vmscan. After the split vmscan will
detect unevictable small pages and mlock them.

With this approach we shouldn't hit situation like described above.
