[PATCHv2 0/2] Fix another VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTail(page)) on mbind(2)
From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Tue Feb 02 2016 - 11:21:20 EST
Dmitry Vyukov reported yet another VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTail(page)) bug from
isolate_lru_page().
The fisrt patch fixes the bug by filter out non migratable VMAs in
queue_pages_test_walk(). There's no point to queue pages from non-migratable
VMA even for MPOL_MF_STRICT.
The second patch replace VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() with WARN_RATELIMIT() in
isolate_lru_page(). Most attempts to isolate tail pages are not fatal, as
these pages usually are not on LRU and will not be isolated.
v2:
- address feedback from Michal Hocko;
Kirill A. Shutemov (2):
mempolicy: do not try to queue pages from !vma_migratable()
mm: downgrade VM_BUG in isolate_lru_page() to warning
