Hi Hugh,
Thanks a lot for the report!
Think again lru_move_fn and mem_cgroup_move_account relation. I found
if we want to change the pgdat->lru_lock to memcg's lruvec lock, we have
to serialize mem_cgroup_move_account during pagevec_lru_move_fn. Otherwise
the possible bad scenario would like:
cpu 0 cpu 1
lruvec = mem_cgroup_page_lruvec()
if (!isolate_lru_page())
mem_cgroup_move_account
spin_lock_irqsave(&lruvec->lru_lock <== wrong lock.
So we need the ClearPageLRU to block isolate_lru_page(), then serialize
the memcg change here. Do relock check would get a mitigation, but not
solution.
The following patch fold vm event PGROTATED into pagevec_move_tail_fn
and fixed this problem by ClearPageLRU before page moving between lru
I will split them into 2 patches, and merge into v12 patchset.
