[PATCH 1/2] mm: fix bogus VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() in isolate_lru_page()

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Fri Jan 29 2016 - 06:55:40 EST


We don't care if there's a tail pages which is not on LRU. We are not
going to isolate them anyway.

Testcase:

#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <numaif.h>

#define SIZE 0x2000

int foo;

int main()
{
int fd;
char *p;
unsigned long mask = 2;

fd = open("/dev/sg0", O_RDWR);
p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
/* Faultin pages */
foo = p[0] + p[0x1000];
mbind(p, SIZE, MPOL_BIND, &mask, 4, MPOL_MF_MOVE | MPOL_MF_STRICT);
return 0;
}

MPOL_MF_STRICT makes queue_pages_test_walk() ignore !vma_megratable()
and we try to queue such pages for migration. It's good question why we
ignore !vma_megratable() for MPOL_MF_STRICT, but it's subject for a
separate patch.
