As I commented over v5, this failure is expected and it doesn't mean kernel issue. Once we successfully soft offline a hugepage, the memory range covering the hugepage will never participate in hugepage because one of the subpages is removed from buddy. So if you iterate soft offlining hugepages, all memory range are "holed" finally, and no hugepage will be available in the system. Please fix your test program to properly determine nubmer of loop (NR_LOOP) so that you can assume that you can always allocate hugepage during testing. For example, if you can use 40G memory and hugepage size is 512MB, NR_LOOP should not be larger than 80. > > Reverting the following commits allowed the test to run succesfully over and over again. > > "mm, hwpoison: remove recalculating hpage" > "mm,hwpoison-inject: don't pin for hwpoison_filter" > "mm,hwpoison: Un-export get_hwpoison_page and make it static" > "mm,hwpoison: kill put_hwpoison_page" > "mm,hwpoison: unify THP handling for hard and soft offline" > "mm,hwpoison: rework soft offline for free pages" > "mm,hwpoison: rework soft offline for in-use pages" > "mm,hwpoison: refactor soft_offline_huge_page and __soft_offline_page" I'm still not sure why the test succeeded by reverting these because current mainline kernel provides similar mechanism to prevent reuse of soft offlined page. So this success seems to me something suspicious. To investigate more, I want to have additional info about the page states of the relevant pages after soft offlining. Could you collect it by the following steps? - modify random.c not to run hotplug_memory() in migrate_huge_hotplug_memory(), - compile it and run "./random 1" once, - to collect page state with hwpoisoned pages, run "./page-types -Nlr -b hwpoison", where page-types is available under tools/vm in kernel source tree. - choose a few pfns of soft offlined pages from kernel message "Soft offlining pfn ...", and run "./page-types -Nlr -a <pfn>".

No, it can't, because soft offline isolates the physical page. so even after calling munmap(), the side effect remains on the page. In your random.c, memory online/offline resets the status of hwpoison. So you can reallocate hugepages in another run of the program. > > > > > To investigate more, I want to have additional info about the page states > > of the relevant pages after soft offlining.

It only shows 6 lines of records, which is unexpected to me because random.c iterates soft offline 2 hugepages with madvise() 1000 times. Somehow (maybe in arch specific way?) other hwpoisoned pages might be cleared? If they really are, the success of this test is a fake, and this patchset can be considered as a fix. > > Every single one of pfns was like this, > > # ./page-types -Nlr -a 0x99a000 > offset len flags > 99a000 1 __________B________X_______________________ > > # ./page-types -Nlr -a 0x99e000 > offset len flags > 99e000 1 __________B________X_______________________ > > # ./page-types -Nlr -a 0x99c000 > offset len flags > 99c000 1 __________B________X_______________________

Hi, This patchset is the latest version of soft offline rework patchset targetted for v5.9. Since v5, I dropped some patches which tweak refcount handling in madvise_inject_error() to avoid the "unknown refcount page" error. I don't confirm the fix (that didn't reproduce with v5 in my environment), but this change surely call soft_offline_page() after holding refcount, so the error should not happen any more. Dropped patches - mm,madvise: call soft_offline_page() without MF_COUNT_INCREASED - mm,madvise: Refactor madvise_inject_error - mm,hwpoison: remove MF_COUNT_INCREASED - mm,hwpoison: remove flag argument from soft offline functions Thanks, Naoya Horiguchi Quoting cover letter of v5: ---- Main focus of this series is to stabilize soft offline. Historically soft offlined pages have suffered from racy conditions because PageHWPoison is used to a little too aggressively, which (directly or indirectly) invades other mm code which cares little about hwpoison. This results in unexpected behavior or kernel panic, which is very far from soft offline's "do not disturb userspace or other kernel component" policy. Main point of this change set is to contain target page "via buddy allocator", where we first free the target page as we do for normal pages, and remove from buddy only when we confirm that it reaches free list. There is surely race window of page allocation, but that's fine because someone really want that page and the page is still working, so soft offline can happily give up. v4 from Oscar tries to handle the race around reallocation, but that part seems still work in progress, so I decide to separate it for changes into v5.9. Thank you for your contribution, Oscar. --- Previous versions: v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1541746035-13408-1-git-send-email-n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com/ v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20191017142123.24245-1-osalvador@suse.de/ v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200624150137.7052-1-nao.horiguchi@gmail.com/ v4: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200716123810.25292-1-osalvador@suse.de/ v5: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200805204354.GA16406@hori.linux.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp/T/#t --- Summary: Naoya Horiguchi (5): mm,hwpoison: cleanup unused PageHuge() check mm, hwpoison: remove recalculating hpage mm,hwpoison-inject: don't pin for hwpoison_filter mm,hwpoison: introduce MF_MSG_UNSPLIT_THP mm,hwpoison: double-check page count in __get_any_page() Oscar Salvador (7): mm,hwpoison: Un-export get_hwpoison_page and make it static mm,hwpoison: Kill put_hwpoison_page mm,hwpoison: Unify THP handling for hard and soft offline mm,hwpoison: Rework soft offline for free pages mm,hwpoison: Rework soft offline for in-use pages mm,hwpoison: Refactor soft_offline_huge_page and __soft_offline_page mm,hwpoison: Return 0 if the page is already poisoned in soft-offline include/linux/mm.h | 3 +- include/linux/page-flags.h | 6 +- include/ras/ras_event.h | 3 + mm/hwpoison-inject.c | 18 +-- mm/madvise.c | 5 - mm/memory-failure.c | 307 +++++++++++++++++++++------------------------ mm/migrate.c | 11 +- mm/page_alloc.c | 60 +++++++-- 8 files changed, 203 insertions(+), 210 deletions(-)
