Subject: [ 16/33] mm compaction: fix of improper cache flush in migration code
Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2013 13:52:54 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130605204706.075067611@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130605204702.359510786@linuxfoundation.org>
3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Leonid Yegoshin <Leonid.Yegoshin@imgtec.com>
commit c2cc499c5bcf9040a738f49e8051b42078205748 upstream.
Page 'new' during MIGRATION can't be flushed with flush_cache_page().
Using flush_cache_page(vma, addr, pfn) is justified only if the page is
already placed in process page table, and that is done right after
flush_cache_page(). But without it the arch function has no knowledge
of process PTE and does nothing.
Besides that, flush_cache_page() flushes an application cache page, but
the kernel has a different page virtual address and dirtied it.
Replace it with flush_dcache_page(new) which is the proper usage.
The old page is flushed in try_to_unmap_one() before migration.
This bug takes place in Sead3 board with M14Kc MIPS CPU without cache
aliasing (but Harvard arch - separate I and D cache) in tight memory
environment (128MB) each 1-3days on SOAK test. It fails in cc1 during
kernel build (SIGILL, SIGBUS, SIGSEG) if CONFIG_COMPACTION is switched
ON.
