X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9845cbbd113fbb5b769a45d8e88dc47bc12df4e0;p=profile%2Fcommon%2Fkernel-common.git

mm, thp: fix infinite loop on memcg OOM

Masayoshi Mizuma reported a bug with the hang of an application under
the memcg limit.  It happens on write-protection fault to huge zero page

If we successfully allocate a huge page to replace zero page but hit the
memcg limit we need to split the zero page with split_huge_page_pmd()
and fallback to small pages.

The other part of the problem is that VM_FAULT_OOM has special meaning
in do_huge_pmd_wp_page() context.  __handle_mm_fault() expects the page
to be split if it sees VM_FAULT_OOM and it will will retry page fault
handling.  This causes an infinite loop if the page was not split.

do_huge_pmd_wp_zero_page_fallback() can return VM_FAULT_OOM if it failed
to allocate one small page, so fallback to small pages will not help.

The solution for this part is to replace VM_FAULT_OOM with
VM_FAULT_FALLBACK is fallback required.
