Hi

kselftests is integrated Intel 0Day project.
Sometimes we found compaction_test is blocked for more than 1 hours until i kill it.

Try to figure out where it is running, i added some log to this case.

the test log is like:
-------------------

123ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ fprintf(stderr, "%s: %d\n", __func__, __LINE__);ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ <<<======== the last line we can catch.
124ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ if (write(fd, "100000", (6*sizeof(char))) != (6*sizeof(char))) {ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ <<<<============ blocking position

126ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ goto close_fd;
127ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ }
128
129ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET);
130
131ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ fprintf(stderr, "%s: %d\n", __func__, __LINE__);
132ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ if (read(fd, nr_hugepages, sizeof(nr_hugepages)) <= 0) {
133ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ perror("Failed to re-read from /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages\n");
134ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ goto close_fd;
135ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ }
-------------------

According to above log and code, it most likely it is blocking at the writing operation.

my environment is like:
OS: debian
kernel: v4.15
model: Ivytown Ivy Bridge-EP
nr_cpu: 48
memory: 64G
Hi Zhijian,

Please try this patch in mainline:

ÂÂÂÂ 4c1baad22390 kselftest: fix OOM in memory compaction test

Hi Dan

Thanks for your replies.

I run this case on v4.15, looks this patch is already merged to v4.15.
lizhijian@inn:~/linux$ git describe 4c1baad
v4.15-rc2-2-g4c1baad223906

My mistake, this path is not contained by v4.15 yet.
i will have a try.
Hi Dan,

I ran this case on this commit 4c1baad22390, this issue still occurs.

Thanks

Thanks




Thanks

Dan


NOTE: 0Day can reproduce this issue in 20% on 0Day.

Anybody can help have a look?

Thanks
